The Right-Handed, Left-Sided Elbow Phenomenon opus 454
| 3 November 2024 1800 Hours | | Behavior, Biology, Psychology |
If you have paid attention to someone conducting a public speech,
There are a few who seem to get a little emotional
And the left elbow starts to wave gently in and out.
I am assuming this occurs as a release of tension.
But why the left elbow?--I am deducing the speaker was right-handed.
I have no proof of this, but only 10% of us are left-handed,
So I conclude that I have not yet noted this with any lefties.
I am sticking my neck out with these observations,
But I have seen enough to come to an uneducated conclusion.
To go even a bit further, I believe I have seen the phenomenon
More in women than in men.
OK, check me out on this--
TV announcers and politicians make good fodder.
And please, try to observe something else equivalent of interest.
It is actually quite fun and keeps one's mind
On what could be an otherwise very boring speech!
