Last week I signed up for a new bank account. During the interview with the advisor she asked me if I would like a chequebook and the option of a left-handed one. Now she was the sort of person you don't often meet in financial institutions in that she has a sense of humour and we were getting along like a house on fire.

So I said "Sure I'll have one of those, why not." thinking that she was joking about the left-handed thing.

Sure enough today a thick envelope dropped through my letterbox containing a checkbook with the binding on the wrong side.

Ok so a couple questions spring to mind...

1. What kind of world do we live in where there must exist things like left-handed frickin' chequebooks? Who's that for, the tards?

2. I must have signed my name at least 8 times in as many minutes during the interview and not once did I use my left hand to do so.

Good to know my money is in the hands of the vigilant and alert.



Jesus, they'll be making cars with the steering wheel on the wrong side next!
