LEFT-HANDED OR RIGHT-HANDED?
At the
tea break of the legal course I was attending, a lot of attendees went to take a
drink and have some biscuits. It was self-service. I was standing next to a man,
his right hand holding a cup of tea, his left hand trying to use a pair of
tweezers to pick up the lemon slices from a dish. He tried several
times but without success. I saw his left hand shaking in his action. I
then said to him, "it proves you are right-handed." "No, I am not
right-handed. I am left-handed," he told me. "Oh, yes?" I was a
bit doubtful about his answer. After a while he finally was able to pick up
the lemon slices with the tweezers. Then it was my turn to get the lemon
slices for my tea. I tried to pick up the lemon slices with the tweezers but
they fell off from the tweezers. My god! The tweezers were out of
order!
