Mudcat is also difficult for.......
...people who write with the opposite hand.
There's an interesting (well, interesting to me, but again, I amuse easily) thing to try...
With a full 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper on the table in front of you, take a pencil in each hand and simultaneously write your name with each hand -- but write it forward with your "dominant" hand and backwards with your weak hand.
Most people can make a near mirror image of their signature this way -- even if they've never even tried to pick up a writing tool with their weak hand.
Just another bit of useless trivia that you can spring on dinner guests when the conversation screeches to a halt.
Some people say that they can write upside down. I don't think I could. At least not very fast.
I take that back.
If I was hanging upside down I could still write. Pretty fast too. I'd have to. With all the blood rushing to my head I wouldn't want to take too long to write. I'd probably write something like, "Can I stop hanging here like this? It's terribly uncomfortable."
I seem to be able to wave hello with either hand. Some people say I look more sincere when I wave with my right hand. I've tried to see if there's anything to what they say, but the only way I can check is with a mirror -- and when I do that, I look like I'm waving left-handed. I must say though, I do look sincere.
