Yes, it's time to give this topic it's own discussion thread. It has shown itself to be worthy enough. HAHA.

The Mister...perhaps it is upside down in a sense. Again, this involves a demonstration.

ADVANTAGE:
*Depending on corners and angles, if you need to hammer a nail into some 2x4s, sometimes, being lefty is the advantage...then again, those other angles and corners are advantages for the righties.

*A few steps closer to first base in baseball.

*Kind of along the same lines as the accounting thingy...but using the mouse with the right hand and writing with the left.


Anyone else got lefty advantages???

Can type faster and more accurately. Most common letters are on the left side of the standard keyboard. (a,e,s,t,r,e)

Lefty "home keys" - a s d f
Rightie "home keys" - ; l k j

Which set would you rather have?

More advantages?

* Toll booths and drive-through ATMs (of which there are none in my city)

Ability to keep a job as a major league relief pitcher long after you are clearly washed up.

The opening post of this thread reminds me of about half of my answers on 8I.

Back to baseball: If you are a pitcher, you will invariably be called "crafty", no matter what your style of pitching is. Righties are never "crafty".

Greg Maddux is considered crafty.

Lefties are more accurate.

I am about to read this, if it ever connects:

I did a search on Yahoo! for "left-handedness." Once you get past the usual obsessed folk, you can find some good links.

Actually, Not very interesting. The AAA has a better debunking.

"lefty Galore" isn't that the lessor known villian in Goldfinger?
