Welcome to the naughts

I went to the doctor today to get immunizations in preparation for a trip to China at the end of June[1].

There were four shots, so the nurse said she would split them, two on each arm.

She asked me:

"Which hand do you write with?"

and I just couldn't help but smirk and say:

"I don't, really. I type."

Fortunately she wasn't offended, and did later comment on how it was just a standard part of the learned process for giving shots, but it's such an anachronism in this day and age.
