Lefty

If I use my left hand I am controlled by Satin... according to Senegalese culture and religion. The simple task of not using this hand for anything but wiping myself is something I screw up daily.

Do not shake someone's hand with the left hand, or wave. Do not reach for something with the left hand. Don't use a fork, drink from a glass, or eat bread with this hand.

Just let it sit there limp on my side and DO NOT USE IT.

This seemed to be going well until I forgot to use it in the bathroom...
