"I'm a lefty - get used to it"

So, yet another US President is left handed. The new President Obama is meant to have told his staff: "I'm a lefty - get used to it."

Let's hope he changes some things around the White House so it's more southpaw-friendly.

It really irritates me when you go to the loo somewhere and the soap dispenser is located to the right of the basin. I either have to lean right over as I naturally want to use my left hand, or I am forced to use my right.

And bathrooms where the space for placing things like cleanser, lotion, tooth mugs etc is to the right of the hand basin.

Even windows and doors are designed to be opened with your right hand. Well, they are in my flat and it's simply too costly to re-do them.

What I'd really like to see is a toaster designed for left handers. I have searched and searched but can't find one anywhere.

Maybe President Obama will champion the cause of left handers, so we are no longer the forgotten minority.

Left handed president

Unless something unforeseen happens, the next president of the US will be left handed, as both Obama and McCain are southpaws.

Four of the last five US presidents have been left handers and soon it will be five out of six. Now that's far higher than the average. Only one in 12 people is left handed. Pure coincidence or a demonstration of the fact that left handers are naturally superior??
