My first thought when he was talking about his "wink wink" was that he was there to pick up another industrial-sized bottle of Viagra.
I'm wondering if his ER pickup lines have ever actually worked, since why else would he still be trying it out ...

I'm a southpaw, but I can write with my right too. I need more practice, but I can do it. I also use my mouse on the right hand, lift heavy objects with the right hand, and slap harder with the right hand.
Sadly, I also very easily confuse right from left, thanks to a bit of doggerel, "This is the hand I write (right) with *supposed to raise right one - but I don't WRITE with that one* and this is the hand that's left!"
My father is truly ambidex, because he sawed off the tip of the ring finger on his left hand and while recovering was forced to do everything with his right. He can now swap jobs between hands with very little fuss.If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

I think I learned/reinforced it because when I was a little kid I naturally favoured my left hand, but then when I started school the teachers used to tie it behind my back so I had to use my right"Asking an Irish girl to tone it down a notch is about the same as asking a wolf to leave the sheep alone.

It was common practice back then, I believe.
I wasn't aware it was still being practiced back in the 80's.
My husband became ambidextrous as a result, but not so much for my brother.
Even though he was actually quite clever, he failed his first year in school as a result.
His teacher tied a bell to his wrist and if she heard it, he got the strap. He grew up hating that teacher.
(Too bad his teacher couldn't see him now, though. He's one of those people who decides he wants to do or learn something and he does it. He actually taught himself taxidermy. I don't know why. I found it odd, but he enjoyed it. He also taught himself photography and learned how to develop film and print pictures in a darkroom he built for himself. And, as I said, he's still left handed.)Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

(never taught myself taxidermy though... and... it kind of sounds like something with a lot of potential for some truly HORRIFIC mishaps. )"Asking an Irish girl to tone it down a notch is about the same as asking a wolf to leave the sheep alone. Good luck with that. " - Jester, about me

With my Aunts and Uncles being in high places I was given educational gifts that my Mom made fun for me. The downfall was that because I could look at a math problem and get the right answer I would be marked wrong by the teachers. It happened so often I just gave up since why bother if I'm wrong all the time?
Some teachers are excellent, some are stuck in the dark ages.

Quoth Ree View PostYeah, my Grade 10 math teacher accused me of looking the answer up in the back because I didn't show all my work. I had this weird thing going on where I would do some in my head and just forget to write the steps, but I would get the right answer.At the conclusion of an Irish wedding, the priest said "Everybody please hug the person who has made your life worth living. The bartender was nearly crushed to death.
