You type with your right hand? What's that mean? What kind of typing?

(I discovered, having made a trip to NSW for the purpose as I would've
needed a gun licence to have done in it in Victoria, that I'm no better or
worse at using a paintball gun with my left hand than my right earlier
this week. To summarise an earlier few postings, I write with my right
hand, use an axe left-handedly, and do most other things ambidextrously.
As to feet, I'd probably be entirely confused if I tried to kick a footy*
with my left foot...)

*Aussie-rules style.

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still
be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.
