Don't you just love those old "politically incorrect" jokes that the great old comedians used to tell? Those were the days when casual racism, sexism and homophobia were as fashionable as flared trousers and the world was a much better place (apart from Vietnam and all the other wars, obviously) Anyway here's one of my favourites.
Q. How many Pakistanis can you fit in a Mini?
A. It's obvious, four and possibly a small child.

You see what i did there, eh? Led you to expect one thing while going in the opposite direction.
This is how i felt yesterday when i found out something astounding about your American Presidents. Now, for all i know, this may be common knowledge over there and you are already laughing at my stupidity, but i will persevere nonetheless. Did you know that since 1974 all but two of your Presidents have been sinister? Not in the way you're thinking, that would be no revelation at all would it? Here's the rub - they have all been left-handed, apart from Jimmy Carter and George W, although in fairness to him he's done well just to refrain from picking things up with his feet.
Yes, Clinton, Daddy Bush, Reagan and Ford were all lefties. John McCain and Barack Obama are also both left-handed. Failed Presidential candidates Bob Dole and Al Gore are both left-handed as are potential VP's John Edwards and Michael Bloomberg. Mighty suspicious, eh? (Disclaimer: If this turns out to be incorrect you can blame the Times of London)
I myself am ambidextrous, preferring to pen my drivel with the rightest of my hands but favouring dear Lefty for...well let's not go there. This is a family board after all.
