My sister is left-handed. I have a cousin who is my age and also left-handed. When we were in school we had a nun who was also left-handed. Our priest was right-handed and tried to get the southpaws to write right handed. He had us working on an assignment and Elaine was using her left-hand. He yanked that pencil out of her hand and yelled at her. Said only ignorant people wrote with their left hands. Our teacher quickly walked into the room and gave Elaine her pencil back. Sister look at the priest and said, "If she used her toes on her left foot to get the work done then it's getting the work done that matters." The priest complained to the diocese about the incident and he was immediately transferred. Seems the bishop was southpaw. Elaine later became a surgeon.
