Left handed people LOVE being left handed and take every opportunity to squeeze it into convo. "I need to sit on the end because I'm a LEFTY," is just one recent example that comes to mind. What is more lefty's love for others to note their left-handedness, openly. This has never once failed to be true for me. My new boss is left handed and I said today, "Oh, you are left handed." That's it; that is all I had to say, and she went on about her left-handedness for several minutes, touched that I had noticed. Works every time. This is strange because traditionally it was thought to be a bad thing to be left handed and many parents wasted hours trying to save their left handed children from a lifetime of ridicule. "The words "adroitness" and "dexterity" derive from the French and Latin words for "right," while "gauche" and "sinister" derive from the words for "left."" But although only one in ten people are left handed, more than half the President's of the United States since the end of World War II have been "lefty's"(both McCain and Obama are lefty's).
So to sum up my Neat Tip is, next time you notice someone is a south paw, remind them that they are a lefty and you will gain a friend.

Let us not forget Ned Flanders "Left-torium"!!
I plan to tie my first sons right hand behing his fragile little back for the first 8 years of his trying life. I am going to strap him in a chair, eyes sealed open akin to Clockwork Orange, and have him watch Yankee games, the Jimmy V speech, and instructional pitching videos. It will be tough on our relationship but it will all be well worth it, for both of us, watching him pitch in the Bronx.
The second boy will have a similiar routine but dedicated to dribbling and obtaining a J like Guts or myself. I would describe the method but that sh*t top secret joe.
