I do indeed! I can even wield a knife and fork separately and at the same time!

And DTs?

When I was in London, before leaving for a weekend in Hamburg, I was signing a book we were supposed to sign if we left the country, the porter sat there, I thought just waiting for his binder back, but then he said "You're the only American (we lived in a dorm full of them) I've seen who holds a pen the right way."

I was very pleased.

My handwriting’s embarrassing. Being severely left-handed doesn’t help, of course, but I was in a meeting with a chap recently taking notes and I could see the guy looking at me and wondering to himself whether I’d ever make sense of them. It looks a bit like arabic, but written by someone with a severe Glenfiddich habit. With a defective pen. And eyesight problems.

I like my handwriting. It’s not very pretty, but damnit it’s got character.

Handwriting? Nothing but a signature for the past 20 years - and I've many times started to print that on a check.

I wasa born to typa.

Ew I hate when people write like that. It’s an affliction affecting many Americans.
