Subject: RE: right and left -- a poll
Well, I've been away for a few hours and am amazed and gratified by the number of interesting responses here. And of course, you are all good-looking and intelligent.

BTW, I put that in about "good-looking and intelligent" because a few years ago a couple of education professors from some Midwestern University published a study saying that a high percentage of felons are left-handed. The implication was obviously that lefties have serious social or intellectual problems. If Mudcatters are anything to go by, they were obviously wrong.

I'm mixed -- do delicate things leftie, big jobs rightie. I do have to stop and think about which is right and which is left, but I suppose that's because to me it's not important.

One day I was sitting in church listening to the Gloria, which says "you are seated at the right hand of the Father.." and I suddenly realized that for 45 years I had been erroneously picturing Jesus at God's left side. Oh well, I don't suppose He minds.

Now my DH wants me to tabulate the results of this.
