Have you been severely injured by a toilet? Call Flush and Swirley. You may be eligible for significant compensation from the toilet industry. You pay nothing until we win.
Thanks for the idea Pie!
I am part of the 7% and have not really found the up side to it yet. Hey can we get a left handed history month? Maybe teach kids about the historical contributions of left handed people. I would ask for a parade but it would end up like a NASCAR race, one big left hand turn.
16 doesn’t bother me but 2 has me scratching my head a little. Anyway this is a great list thanks for posting it. Oh and I stopped drinking coffee this morning, I switched to espresso. YUMMMMM!
Left handers are ruled by the right side of the brain…that’s the creative side…your left hand could be associated with your comedic sense…you may want to look into having it insured, maybe a million bucks, like Eva Gardners legs.
Yummmmmmm? I think maybe zoooooooooom!
Jack, for military veterans you can probably double #9.
