I am not Left Handed

Maybe you've seen The Princess Bride and recognize the title as those words spoken by Inigo Montoya.



Nor am I left handed and nor do I usually blog about my work. I do enjoy a good noir flick though (The Third Man, Double Indemnity come to mind).



But I have an advisee who has shaken me to my core. Probably because I don't do enough crunches or planks but that's not important right now.



Here is what he said:

I found out ten years ago I'm left handed.

I shit you not.

Take a moment and let that sink in.

What does that even mean!

You've used your hands all life long, assuming you have both, you've used both of them, all life long.

What does it mean to learn you are left handed???? and how did you learn it??? did someone tell you after a battery of tests???? because you couldn't figure it out and had to solve the mystery before you died???

What the living fuck? What kind of person drops this nugget ninja in my cranium to fester and bite at my brain like a mosquito?

Dammit this is why people are the worst.
