Lefties Have a Whole Different Set of Priorities
Google sent me a link in an ad for Left-Handed, the site where you can meet your left-handed needs. This sounded too good to be true, and knowing quite a few left-handed people, I decided to check it out.
So I'm scrolling down, and checking out the categories of miscellaneous stuff that Southpaws need.
Scissors, I get.
Dining, sure. It's embarrassing to not be able to open a bottle of wine in front of company.
I'm sure a lot of accidents happen in the kitchen.
This is when it starts to get a little weird, though. Remember, these are categories that left-handed.com seems to think are essential to all lefties.
Hmm, this one doesn't seem all that necessary. Can that many cameras make left-handed model? Are you trading in quality for the ability to push a button with your dominant hand?
It's not so much that lefties need knives, it's that this particular knife looks like you use it to remove living organs from a struggling victim wrapped in duct tape. Also, the fact that the file's name is "lefty-knife-button.gif" is kind of funny.
Here we go. The meat and potatoes of this site, I am sure. Apparently, the amount of left-handed people clamoring for boomerangs to meet their needs was enough to make a category for them, let alone a category among the six essentials for all left-handed people. There are only two boomerangs in there, but how often must those two get bought to keep them going as a special category? Well I, for one, applaud you, left-handed.com, for assuring future generations of left-handed children that their Crocodile Dundee dreams will not go unfulfilled.
All in all, the site seems like it would be very useful if I needed a weird gift for a left-handed friend. Other than that, however, all I can do is enjoy the fact that there is a forum for Southpaws. FINALLY they are finding their voice on the internet.
