Its South Paw Day. Left Handers make up roughly 10% of the population. And...YES!!! Im a lefty. Im the person with the perpetual ink stain on the side of my hand. I can actually write upside down. But I bat, golf, use scissors and pull a trigger with my right hand. We are quirky, creative and apparently Presidentially inclined. Check out the list of Left-Handed Presidents: James A. Garfield (1831-1881) 20th Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) 31st Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) 33rd Gerald Ford (1913- ) 38th Ronald Reagan (1911 - ) 40th George H.W. Bush (1924- ) 41st Bill Clinton (1946- ) 42nd Barack Obama (1961- ) 44th Some other traits of the Lefty include: 1. Better vocabulary 2. More intuitive 3. More Creative 4. We drive faster (meaning...we are more likely to pass our driving test on the first try-we may be actually drive at higher speeds so see #9) 5. We graduate from college more often and with higher GPAs than you regular old Righties. Plus we are more likely to be Mensa members...(not me, I missed that one). 6. We can throw a MEAN left hook. 7. We suffer from Dyslexia and Autism more than Righties. 8. We suffer from Depression and Anxiety more than Righties. 9. We tend to die at a younger age than Righties. 10. We drink more and sleep less (also directly related to #9) Other interesting lefty information...we tend to scare more easily. And roughly half of the worlds cats are left-pawed. Bill Gates? Lefty. Albert Einstein? Lefty. Osama Bin Laden? Lefty. Women who become mothers over the age of 40 are 130% MORE LIKELY to give birth to a left-handed kid. #lefthandersday lefthandersday
