And who could forget granny's: when you're left handed, "YOU'RE THE LITERAL SPAWN OF SATAN" ok, dear?

Go hang out with some Koreans (possibly other Asian people too), they will think you must be smart because of being left handed.

I think this meme is a Christian thing, although Muslims do reserve their left hand for the filthier things, so there's that coincidence. But in Asia I don't know any such precedent.
