    EDIT: ...where the hell did that go?
    I think you mean jokey!

    I swear that used to be joey! And I swear it used to look different!

    Righty here. The poll currently sitting at 7-1 for righties makes sense. Apparently 10% of the popluation is leftly.

    That being said, I tend to do a lot of things with my left hands, It is my primary hand for typing, I open stuff like bottles and cans left handed etc.

    I'm left-handed. I do everything with my left-hand and can't do anything worth trout with my right. My brother used to be left-handed too until a teacher forced him to do everything with his right-hand. Because I guess being left-handed is a disease or something. All I know is that was why mom pulled him out of school and home schooled him. It's probably a big reason she home schooled me as well.

    Apart from having to move my silverware and drink to the left because people assume I'm right-handed, I don't get much trouble.

    I'm a lefty, but there's a lot of things I do around the house with right.

    I use my right hand to cut with scissors while my left holds the paper. I cut steak with the knife in my right hand and fork in the left. I play a right handed guitar (but so do most people).

    I've never understood why the average guitar is considered a right handed instrument. Your hand on the neck is the one that's doing all the hard work.

    I'm assuming the hand you write with is what's determined as your dominant hand. I'll put left in the poll.

    I'm right handed and have two left feet. Also, for the longest time I thought it was omnidextrous. It sounds cooler.

    I write with my right hand. Have more coordination with my left hand throwing and punching.

    I know people who are right hand dominant but left foot dominant. It's really weird.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    My left side is typically more dexterous (word?) than my right for certain things. But I'm right handed.

    No. It was jokey until 2006, then they changed it to joey. Now it's back to being jokey

    Wait, that's not how you are supposed to do it?
    There is nothing wrong with this. Though according to 1960s table manners of pompous white Americans, you're supposed to cut your food with the knife in your right hand, and then switch the fork to your right hand to actually eat. For some reason it is considered uncouth to simply raise the fork to your mouth while it is still in your left hand after you just cut off that piece of food.

    The rational members of society don't give a trout.
