   I, too, am a southpaw. I have heard that half of all left handed people are geniuses. It must be Horatio Plot, since I do not fit the bill.
   
   It's funny. I'm left handed, but I surf regular foot.

      Odd you mention that. I do everything left-handed/footed. Except bat. I bowl left-arm over (slow left-arm orthodox) but I bat right-handed. Oddly, David Gower was left-handed but batted right-handed.
      Not that I'm comparing myself to David Gower you understand. Although I did once play against him at school. He played for King's, Canterbury and scored 103, a glimpse of things to come.

   You all know what they say about us southpaws, right?
   Only left-handed people are in their right minds.
   They also say we're sinister.
   I think they're just jealous.
   
   
   To celebrate this occasion, I'm running through the house with my special left-handed scissors. I am not a danger to myself or others, as left-handed scissors don't cut for sh#t.
