Poll question: TP - left or right hand?

Just curious, because in all the books I've read that touch on the subject, they imply that in almost every culture, the left hand is used. However, I've always used the right.

2. The consensus is you should wipe your ass with your non-dominant hand.

The rationale being you don't want to go about your day touching a whole lot of things with a potentially poo-stained hand. I know, you and I wash, but some nasty people don't.

4. That sounds stupid to me.

If you're going to do something, you might as well do it right.
Efficiency is important.

7. That's what I've always thought.

I guess being a fanatic about washing hands makes up for using my right hand.

8. It would be an honor to shake your hand, ZN.

I always keep some Purell with me, just in case. :)

5. Yes, so I've heard. I was wondering if it was about the proximity to soap

and water.... and if people were more likely to use the left when they had outhouses.
