This reminds me of a story that Arlo Guthrie used to tell in concert. I know he’s a lefty everyone, but he doesn’t shove it down your throats and he’s a great performer.

Anyways, he used to always sing Amazing Grace during his concert and he told the story once that he was singing it and then forgot the words halfway through. So, he made a call out to his audience to send him the words for the other verses so he wouldn’t forget. Over the next year he was getting Amazing Grace sent to him in the mail left and right. However, not one of them was written down. You see, people went to Church and started ripping Amazing Grace out of the hymnals. Arlo figures there was several years where there was no Amazing Grace in most Church hymnals and so there was a dearth of Amazing Grace singing in Church for a while.

Don’t know if it was true, but when he told it, it was very funny...

That sounds like a story a leftie would make up. Would you really rip a page out of the hymnal at your church?
