My parents got me "The Left-Hander's Calendar" for Christmas. It's a day by day calendar that has little tidbits about lefties and birthdays.
Today's fact was interesting:
Ehud, son of Gera the Benjamite, may be the earliest identified left-hander, since he is mentioned in the old testament of the bible. He killed the king of Moab by concealing his double edged dagger under his clothes on his right thigh. Anyone searching him would have only checked his left side, where a righty would keep his weapon.
(I'm glad security is a little better today!)
BTW - Ronald Regan and George Bush are one of the only two pairs of president / vice president lefties.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
You know what they say, if the right side of the mind controls the left side of the body, then the left handed people are truly in their right mind! :smilewinkgrin::approve:
