[QUOTE 1803659, member: 45"]Comments on knives and forks?
I'm left-handed. It's always seemed to me that a table is laid for a left-handed person, with the fork on the left. Being the utensil needing the most dextrousness (?) it makes sense that this is in your dominant hand.
Mrs P disagrees. It might sound like a trivial argument, but it only came up because our right-handed eldest has always held his fork in his right hand because it feels more natural to him.[/quote]
I have this discussion too. My argument would be that if you're cutting meat and you're right handed, then the fork would be in the left hand pinning down the meat, where the right is doing the manouvering which needs dexterity.
Similarly if you're sawing wood, right handers would be resting the left hand on the item to be cut, the right would be doing the sawing bit.
Likewise, I am predominantly right handed and pretty much useless with my left hand/foot. However someone recently pointed out that I deal cards left handed! I never realised that was the way I was doing it; holding the pack of cards in my right hand and dealing with my left feels so much more natural. In fact I'm still not convinced that it's not "normal"
.
As for crisp eating; never thought about it before, but I also tend to hold the bag in my right hand and shovel 'em in with my left.
I deal cards with my left too!
'Snap' on all counts - you are not alone.
I can only whistle by breathing in - if you too can do this, I'll consider us separated at birth
I can do the whistling whilst inhaling, but I can whistle on the exhale too...
