Not so happy to be left-handed right now.

Come on... there are many perks to being left handed.

We think faster... http://news.softpedia.com/news/Left-handed-people-think-faster-than-left-handed-people-42445.shtml

We have Bigger brains - ".. the corpus callosum in left-handed & ambidextrous people was 11% larger than in right-handers." http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1175/is_v19/ai_4001154

We perform "fast or difficult tasks that involve lots of information or stimuli", "activities that need both hemispheres of the brain to proces information". http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/2006/1794923.htm

And then some weird ones....

We are better equipped for close range mortal combat. http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn6773

We flourish in violent society. http://www.nature.com/news/2004/041206/full/041206-6.html

Better in fights. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4073775.stm

Tell everyone how your brain is bigger, faster, and wired better. If they don't like it.... kick their ass!

so you're saying you're happy your sister in law and to some extent, your brother will die early deaths? ;)
