Try going back to elementary school and having no choice but to do every single craft project with the sh*ttiest pair of scissors in the known universe. Worse, forced to actually FIGHT over them with the other lefty in the room (other 2 lefties if your class had 30 people) as if they were something of value, rather than torture devices. Entirely blunt. No, not entirely blunt. The cuttening edges are blunt. The metal in the finger holes (which of course had long ago lost the protective rubber coating) was honed, sharp enough to cut skin and sever nerves.

And there were all you wrongies, gleefully picking and choosing from the forest of bountiful green rubber coated handles, planted in the foul soil of brown scissor holders.

Reparations now!

Exactly as GOD meant it to be. Haven't you ever read Darwin? (which of course is totally wrong about evolution but oh so right about adapting or getting stuck with the crap scissors)

Reparations now!

Pfft. Why should I pay you? Neither I nor my ancestors gave you the crap scissors, we weren't freakin' teachers.

At my school, the righty scissors had no protective coating, and the lefties got all the comfort a green plastic handle shell could provide. So I have no pity for you, heathen.

Hard to believe this much complaining comes from only 10% of the population.

[SacTown Chronic]

For the record, 40% of our household (Crystal, Josh) are lefties. So to be honest, I'm painfully aware how much complaining anti-lefty bias there is out there.


Right-handedness is the reason I do all of the rolling, or so I'm told.

Umm... show me a right-handed rolling pin

[SacTown Chronic]

I confess, there is no right-handed rolling pin.

See. Irresponsible, reckless disregard for scissors, like all of you wrong-brainers.

Oh eff, is THAT why I can't seen to get it down?

Heh, I think you're talking about a different kind of rolling...

That just sounds gross, like it has to do with peeing in a can. Though according to the B&J site it's actually "Yes Pecan" without the hyphen and that looks better to me
