Of course you know ...jim- Let The Revolution Begin! Of course you know the senior George Bush was left handed, as was Ronald Reagan...go figure. But they probably didn't peel their own potatoe's ;) .<BR/><BR/>pablo-your comment prompted a quick Google search; apparently there are proportionally more lefties in the UK, or ones willing to part with their money , because that is where the first two or three were located. But one of them had this to say about potato peelers:<BR/><BR/> "Left-handed peelers The best motion for peeling vegetables is to move the peeler towards the body. This is not possible with a right-handed peeler held in the left hand as the cutting edge is facing the wrong way. For this reason, many left-handers have developed a technique for peeling vegetables moving the peeler away from the body, and have the scraped knuckles to prove it! Our peelers are either fully left-handed or double-edged so they can be used in either direction."<BR/><BR/>Apparently I've been doing it all wrong to begin with, and my new peeler is, in fact, left-handed! But I still refuse to change my ways.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1129749441308464822005-10-19T14:17:00.000-05:002005-10-19T14:17:00.000-05:00I know there are stores that sell lefty merchandis...I know there are stores that sell lefty merchandise.
