I have 2 left handed older brothers. I barely survived childhood. Nuff said.

Lefties start off closer to first base. We’re also naturals for opening bra clasps.

I always tell people the North Vietnamese broke my right arm during torture after I was captured so I had to learn to write with my left hand. Hey, it worked for John McCain.

I was the product of New Orleans schools where they forced me to ignore my natural inclination to write leftie and write right-handed. For several years I could write poorly with either hand ;-)
