    I've always been able to do it with both hands, but then I thought, "Well, I wonder if most Trek fans can do it?"

    I practiced and practiced and practiced... Finally I could do it with my right hand. The left hand came quickly after that.

    I learned this as a teenager watching TAS, with my right hand. Years later in college, I taught myself to do it with my left hand. It was much more difficult. Now that I recall, masturbation started the same way...

    No, unfortunately.

    That hurts worse than the uniform.

    I can do it with my right hand without even thinking about it. Can't do it with my left hand, though.

    I can make the salute with both hands, but when I do it with my left hand, my fingers refuse to lie in the same plane. The pinky and ring fingers don't align with the middle and index fingers.

    The odd thing is, I'm left-handed.

    Ooooh, yeah that's odd. :devil:

    Fact-Check: My girl is left-handed. First day of school, she got off the bus and said, "Everybody else writes with the wrong hand." I knew my baby would be OK! :techman:

    Both.

    I can even quickly do double salutes with both hands (bring the two middle fingers together and spread out the outer ones).
    :lol:

    Same here. I just can't put my little finger and ring finger together on my left hand (I'm right handed btw)

    Always been able to do it with both hands. Does that qualify my to be a Rabbi?
