And the only funnier thing would be keeping this thread on-topic!

I hate having to edit things.

That would fall under the category of "self-deprecating humor."

That makes sense. I can't expect more than that. I already greatly appreciate the lefty options you guys make currently. Its a rare thing in this business!

Right, exposing yourself like Chuck does is not the same as getting a lot of exposure

I am left handed. I couldn't tell what you were inferring.

Being left handed where I grew up was kind of like being touched in the head. Not tolerated.

You qualifly for that too?

Hmmm...maybe he DOES qualify. I mean, that infamous photo wound up on the countertop at a music store not only on the other side of the continent, but in another country, no less!

Not to mention the global, nay, GALACTIC distribution due to the Internet!

Of course. I said I was a lefty.

I went through primary school with a near-permanent graphite stain on the edge of my left hand because I had to curl it over in order to make those blasted cursive script letters tilt in the "correct" direction. Half the pencil lead wound up ground into my skin.

I eat left-handed and write (and of course draw) left handed. Everything else I've managed to learn how to accomplish righty.

My wife is a lefty too. Every time we go out to eat, there's this mildly comical moment where we both grab the water glass and move it from the right side of the place setting to the left.

Well, I'm right handed and the only thing I've ever done lefty is play stringed instruments, couldnt play righty to save my life. Go figure>

Now back to the Bongo 6. I would almost never play the thing but if it were available left handed I would surely buy one.

When I was in primary school we practiced cursive script with an ink pen and ink well. I'm a lefty too, so you can imagine what my left hand looked like.
