Fiddle Dee Dee

Ever wonder why men's buttons are on the left of the placket and women's are on the right? Well, here is what we learned from the Science channel.

Men's buttons are on the left to enable them to unbutton their coat with their left hand while drawing their sword with their right.

Women's buttons are on the right so their right handed maids could dress them more easily.


Well, Fiddle Dee Dee! Been a long time since any maid dressing and sword drawing 'round here. How about you?
