| I've started fencing with my left hand, but I primarily fence right handed...
Yeah, fencing's the only thing I can do left handed and not look like a graceless elephant.

| We must revive this thread for the sake of International Left-Handers Day on Sunday, August 13th!! Fellow lefties, it is OUR day to shine tomorrow!! Let us rejoice everything that is "lefty"...
For all that we suffered through: ink-smudged hands and paper, right-handed doorknobs, right-handed watches, spiral notebooks, can openers...ah, the list is endless! A lefty day was made just for us *teary-eyed*...
But spread the word to other lefties about this day!
(Okay, I don't really know what I'm talking about but it might have originated from that sugary chocolate bar I just ate...)

| Most terms for left-handers are not flattering, example sinister.
There use to be a company called Arista which was a company for left-handed products. They got their name from the Greek term for left-handed.
If you notice, it forms the basis for Aristocratic.

Happy lefty day!!! (While I was stuck at my brother's college orientation at UC Davis and smelling cows.)

| The more ambitious marketer would have said "In honor of Lefty Day, I'm giving away free kisses to any girl's left cheek. Or lip, if you turn your head sideways.
