...why I have these fake nails on my right hand and not my left? The best story gets a prize that I have yet to determine.

First: forgive me.

1) You're a leftie. You pick your nose with your left hand, and do various and sundry other things left-handed. You know. I know. Polite company doesn't reveal such things.

2) You were loathe to let go of the cocktail in your left hand when this was being done.

3) Well, let's just say this option has something to do with gratifying the nail technician during the course of the manicure.

What do I win?

NO IDEA! I will wait for the real story to emerge.

[samantha]

The nail salon started on fire and you had to run out screaming?? (Even though I can't really see you running out screaming *S*)

[Tiffany]

a) You don't actually have a left hand.
b) You suffered a horrible accident in which you were forced to naw off your own left fingertips to be released from an errant fax machine.
c) Your Halloween costume is to be 1/2 man, 1/2 woman, and lefty is hangin' with the Y chromosome.

The manicurist went into labor...

[AndreAnna McLean]

1) You need your left hand because it is trained in some secret martial art in which you can choke/maim/mutilate a man twice your size and nails get in the way.

2) It was a trial run for your wedding and you want to see how long they last, how comfortable they are.

3) You see that I have my nails done all the time and wanted to be like me. But only a little. :)

4) In the middle of getting your manicure, Bob Saget walks in and you were so excited to see him that when you jumped up, knocking the manicurist over, and she hit her head on the floor and was knocked unconscious. She was the only one on staff trained to do those kinds of nails.

You've got a job as a hand model?

[Catheroo]

Because you use your mouse with your right hand, and bite off the nails of your left hand while you surf the internet.

(That's what I do anyway.)

[karina]

you're a guitar player?

[Lolliloo]

because you're going to be a one armed "something" for Halloween & you didn't want to waste your time....
you actually only have one hand and we just never noticed.......

[Alison]

So far Tiffany takes the cake with this option:

Your Halloween costume is to be 1/2 man, 1/2 woman, and lefty is hangin' with the Y chromosome.

AndreAnna is is second place with this:

You need your left hand because it is trained in some secret martial art in which you can choke/maim/mutilate a man twice your size and nails get in the way.

Anybody else want to try to top them?

Your left hand was taking the picture.

[cmhl]

you went to the salon to have fabulous tips put on (and by the by, they look great!).

However, you freaked out just a little bit at the "grinding down of your read nails" process. In fact, it was all you could do to keep from screaming.

After one hand was done, you said quietly to yourself, "f*ck it, I'm going as Captain Hook for halloween anyway, one had is enough!"

[rebecca]

they're glue on's and they didn't have the right size ones for your other hand. which is good, because you only need one hand to pick your nose.

[Heather]

You have a weird fungus, so you can't have anything on your other hand.

It's your shuffleboard hand, and fake nails might get in the way.

Your right hand, while beautiful, is completely non-functional, so you had to leave the left to do all the dirty work. It's amazing how you manage to type so well one-handed!

my lips are sealed...

You have a brand new job as a hand model and the ad agency favored your right over your left so they opted to save some money and only approved nails for those 5 right-sided digits. Ad agencies are so frickin' cheap. To keep your left hand mollified, you use it exclusively to smudge your charcoal drawings.
