A test was once made in England concerning left-handed tea cups. A researcher asked an Africaans shopkeeper to see some teacups, and the shopkeeper brought out a few examples. "What about a left-handed cup - have you any of those?" he was asked. "No, sorry!" was the reply. So, no deal.
The researcher then went to a Jewish shopkeeper, and asked him for cups, and some were brought out. "Do you have any left-handed cups?" the researcher asked. The shopkeeper took a cup and turned the handle round to face the way a left-handed person would want it.
