Left handed underwear for men
I understand how it can be embarrassing to be standing at a urinal and it taking a while to get Mr. Willy out to do your business. I'm not a lefty, it just takes me a while to unravel it from my thigh and calf so I can do my business.

You lefties can't do anything right, can you?

I am 2 of 7 kids, every other one is left handed.

Wifey and I are both lefties, our kid is right.

Famous lefties? Presidents lately #38, 40, 41 and 42.

Jack the Ripper.

Can you name three?

As a lefty, this will shave much time off my trips to the Urinal - I just wonder what I'll do with all those extra minutes . . .

I'm a lefty & so was my father. As a kid, they had a section of the art/frame shop for left-handed merchandise: I remember a coffee mug with holes on the opposite side(for anyone trying to drink out of it right-handed), a left-handed monkey wrench...and of course the assortment of note pads, paper weights, plaques, etc. with left-handed themed messages.

Oh noes! The U.S. has been taken over by a secret cabal of southpaws. It's a conspiracy!
Will the rest of the world be next? Or are they already here?

Excuse me while I go stock up on right-handed firearms. Probably won't be on the shelf much longer.

Fun with math…

One in twelve folks is left handed (8.5%) yet six of the thirteen most recent Presidents (46%) are left handed. I drew the cut-off with Hover (1929 to 1933) just because the information was readily available & I removed Reagan from both the “N” & “Sample P” values because he was ambidextrous.

So, there’s a 95% level of confidence that the true proportion of Presidents’ that are left handed is between 19.2% to 74.9%. Additionally, we can conclude with greater the 99.9% certainty that being left handed is positively correlated with becoming President.

Now, your odds of ever becoming president are only around 0.00000001906 assuming you’ve got around a forty year window of opportunity and the office is held on average for around six years (1.5 terms) so you’re probably not missing much regardless of handedness.

What does suck is that left handed male collage graduates make a whopping 26% more than their right handed male collage graduate counterparts. Interesting, income differences are within noise meaning there’s insufficient proof that it matters for both woman and those that didn’t attend collage.

Which for me is weird, dominant eye stuff: I shoot a rifle left handed but a bow right handed. Write left handed, base ball, bowl etc. right. Machines I can go either way, some instances I can pick up a stroke.

Scratch poor Billy from that sinister group. What evidence there is points to him being right handed.

There are five guys in my department at work, and it turns out three of us are left handed. I don't know how that happened.

Those who turn them inside out always have them "wrong-handed" 50% of the time. What's so special about lefties? They too good to turn them inside out every other day like the rest of society's males?

I was born left handed but my parents told me there is no place in this world for left handed children and made me do everything right handed.

Thanks to them, I have terrible pensmanship but I'm an excellent drummer.

I want a bumper sticker that says "You know you're a mechanic when you have to wash your hands BEFORE you go pee."

My mom is a lefty,I have a sister and a brother, and myself....out of 7 kids that are also lefties. My sister and brother MUST sit at the dinner table (at family get-togethers), so that they can eat left handed without bumping elbows with others. I eat with my right and write with my left.

THE biggest bitch I have in my life is scissors that are designed for right handed people. I know there are left-handed scissors, I just haven't found them. Besides, it's a common household item, why can't someone invent scissors that can be used by lefties AND righties, easily?

I think I'm the only one in my family that is left-handed other than some cousins. Other than taking the left-most seat at a table, I don't think about it much.
