Are you right- or left-handed?
There are some fascinating facts and figures about right-handedness and left-handedness in this news paper article.
I am right-handed – except with a knife and fork. I rationalise this by the following arguments:
- The fork does twice as much work as the knife – it holds the food and transfers it to the mouth, whereas the knife simply cuts the food – so the fork should go in your dominant hand which for me and most is the right.
- If you are only using one piece of cutlery to eat you main course, you would use the fork and use it in your dominant hand which for me as well as most people is the right.
Do you have any tales or comments about use of hands?
