Why wouldn't they want a left handed person for the job? It has something to do with the logistics of working with kids (where your dominant hand is positioned)? I can't figure that one out. |

...as a strict vagitarian, I guess I would be out, too....
Maybe they meant political left? |

There is/was a superstition about being left-handed, in Korea. I don't recall what it is/was at the moment. |

This is true. I had a mother apologize to me once during parent/teacher conferences because her daughter was left-handed. She didn't want me to treat her daughter different because of it. |

| I think the last condition was a typo. No smirking. |

| They must have had a left-handed vegetarian work at their school before and that person must have complained about the food too much. |

Maybe the "faithful" part is important? Found this on another (strange) site...

I was rather ashamedly left handed as a baby, but my parents forced me to do everything with my right hand, as they told me my right hand was God's preferred hand. I am thankful they beat this sin out of me.
Pleasingly, I now use my right hand for everything. May my God be pleased with me for my efforts. |

My uncle was left handed as a child in the UK and the nuns beat him every time he used his left hand to write, now he writes with his right hand. There was a stigma against writing left handed in many cultures though I thought that was history.
I don't know about Korea but in a lot of cultures the left hand was the hand used to wipe your bottom and such and thus was considered "unclean." Regarding the Bible and such I think there are passages which paint the "left hand" in a negative light so that's why the nuns would get a bit slappy with left handed students.
I myself am left handed and have always found it to be an interesting topic. |

Punching xtians with your left hand is good because it shows them they are right. Then, everyone is happy. |

I'm left handed and I do love vag's so I'm out. Basically they want a woman because most men are vagitarian. |

Only women who are right handed and are non-smorkers though. Personally I've had only positive experiences with smorkers in the past so this request kind of threw me for a loop. |
