Lefties

A recently discovered gene causes left-handedness and Schizophrenia. I’d always though scientists believed that left- handed people were the smartest, perhaps that study was done by a bunch of left -handed scientists.

O well, I figured that being a rightie I had no fear of contacting the schizo thing.

My best friend, who was nicknamed Pinocchio, because he lied all the time asked me, “Psst Alfie, how do you spell defenestrate?,”

“D e f e n e s t r a t e,” I said, “Aren’t you left-handed?”

“Yeah, ” he replied.

“I thought so”, I said and giggled.
