Without doubt, the Left-Handers are the awesomest people on the Earth. I stumbled upon an interesting 'finding' on the Internet about the handedness of American Presidents. Check -

    We need a right-handers' thumbs up smiley too! 😭 .. 😁

    All the Left Handers I know are undoubtedly cool. (Biggie being one of them. 😉 )
    It could be the effect of the 'Left-Hander-Right-Brain' theory, of course.

    If you are one, go seize the day! 😁 Happy Left Handers' Day!

    😀 Happy left-handers day 😀

    By the way, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Lefthanders_Day" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">International Lefthanders Day</a> says that left-handers face considerable trouble using right handed tools and driving in the right side of the road.. Is there still such discrimination? I thought left-handed versions are available for most tools and devices.. And I really don't know if driving in the right-hand side is a problem.. In India, people drive in the left-hand side, and so, by the above logic, all right-handed people should complain.

    ah.. That indeed is one of the tools where right-handedness dominates.. Btw, here are some links if you want to get a pair of 'lefty' scissors for yourself.

    @ all the left handers - Do you think your right brain being more active than the left one makes a difference? 😲
