Left Handed?

[LEAKYSEALS951]

Just got back from my pagan sacrifices. All the comments on writing are interesting.
I (a lefty) was taught to orient paper like a righty, by a childhood teacher who probably didn't know any better at the time. Something like a fountain pen would have been a mess.

Several years later, another teacher who was keen on the subject "re-educated" me. Took a bit of practice, but overall pretty simple.

This fixed it all:



I see a lot of lefties in daily life who never got taught the paper orientation thing.
Simple fix.
Now I write sloppy b/c I choose too.
Please make check for $2000 payable to leakyseals.

One trick I have learned regarding the use of clip boards as a lefty, is to use it upside down. put the clip on the bottom.

Got me thinking. There have been a high number of lefty presidents over the years. Surely the left handed presidents of the US would know how to orient a piece of paper? Right?

well nope...

I've included culprits from both sides of the isle as to not parf this!!!









Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan were also left handed, but Clinton orients the paper the right way, and Reagan wrote with his right hand.

Interesting, seems like we have quite a few left handers on the board! I’m a lefty but there are a few things that I do right handed. I catch and bat right handed…trying to do that LH just seems so incredibly awkward. Most stuff LH though. I too am of an age where they tried to force you to write right handed as a kid, I never understood that either.
