Spiral notebooks!
Okay, the problem with spiral notebooks: in the lower grades of school the teacher directs everything you do and students are told to open their notebook and begin on the first page (first is underlined, it must be the first).
If you do that and are left-handed you end up writing with your hand on top of the spiral. (Try it Jim, it hurts.) That is, until you get smart and start at the end of the book. I did that and flunked a number of papers (they were written "backwards"). The note from the teacher said in the future I must not start at the end, it wasn't proper. That's when I discovered I could write backwards, so turned in my next paper written backwards. I flunked that paper, too. English teachers can be anal. After that they moved me to a different class.
I'm not a master, but I always have my light source coming from the right. Used to play guitar, played that right-handed, but had a left-handed bow (used to shoot, target practice, bow and arrow.)
This is long enough for now. Any other leftie stories?
