You'd have hoped it wasn't beyond the wit of man to create scissors that
close as they cut so can be used either way !

Ah, scissors. Yes, you can get lef-thanded scissors, and left-handers
can use right handed scissors in their left-hands - if we're not putting
too much pressure on them (the blades will spring apart) and they're
nice and shapr, however...


Try this, if you're right handed:

Take a piece of paper. Draw a mildly wavy line over it from one side
to the other.

Take a pair of good, sharp right-handed scissors in your left-hand.

Cut the paper in two, following the line.

You'll find there's a blade in the way of you seeing the line to make
an accurate cut.
