Jerry Seinfeld's first joke when he auditioned for stand-up at a club in 1975 was this:
“I’m left-handed. Why are so many left things negatively associated? Two left feet. Left-handed compliment. You go to a party, there’s nobody there. Where’d everybody go? They left.”
Thanks for sharing - I listened to this podcast - very entertaining, and enlightening. And, you reminded me that I left out a few left-handers who I intended to include: Seinfeld and Jason Alexander are both lefties.

I fairly sure that this is true - that a twin is more likely to be left-handed due to the presence of a mirror image in utero.
That's an interesting theory, Liza - genes are tricky things.
Phil is only a leftee as a golfer. fyi.
So, he doesn't grip a pencil with his left hand? He was probably in school when teachers tried to "convert" all lefties to be "normal."
