I realized today that I am definitely not ambidextrous. I always knew I was right-handed and that this definitely applied to big things like using a hammer and throwing a football. But today I found out just how useless my left hand is. For lunch today, please don't ask why, I brought a bag of Honey Nut Cheerios. I realized when I reached into the bag with my right hand that I could pretty neatly grab 10-15 Cheerios and feed myself. However, since I work the mouse with my right hand, it would have been more convenient to eat with the left.
Surprisingly, with my left hand I could not hold the Cheerios nearly as effeciently. I could still grab 10-15 but it wasn't a neat little bundle like in my right hand. Instead it felt like I was barely holding onto them and they were ready to squirt out any minute. I basically ended up eating mostly righty.
This is amazing to me. I can use my left hand for typing, though I'm not a fabulous typist. I realize I haven't practiced with it enough to use for other tasks that I alluded to earlier but I'm surprised that there was such a difference between my two hands for something as simple as grabbing a few pieces of cereal. Of course, this probably shouldn't be such a big surprise. I've always had more difficulty combing my hair with my left foot than my right.

LOL--don't ask where the headline took me initially...
MM
All great writers know that the title has to grab you. What that has to do with me, I don't know...
One hand, two hands, an old catcher's mitt filled with mayonnaise; if it feels good, do it.
I'm joking people. I never use mayonnaise.
Now Jello, on the other hand...
You guys have your minds in the gutter. Anyone who knows me knows that I wasn't referring to THAT when I talked about being on-handed. It would never work given my freakishly oversized genitals.
It is the belief of several physicians and hired consultants that your genitals are not, "over-sized." It is, in fact, your entire body - save the genitals - that is decidedly undersized; thus, giving your so-so nads a "larger" look.
It's all in the report they did on you. You should read it already. The illustrations are hilarious!
You guys are so easy.
Can I see a copy of that report?
