...that even without one of your hands you can still do cool things like go clubbing and see foreign films. Unfortunately, you wouldn’t be able to clap at the end of Amélie, even if you really enjoyed it. And it would be hard to grope someone on the dance floor and hold your amaretto sour at the same time.
