Many thanks to Dr Leland Whitson for forwarding this picture that seems to be doing the rounds via email.

The picture has a title "offset, my ass!" - but I'm sure we could come up with something better.

I'm presuming it is perhaps from a film. I can't see the guy being very productive just using his right hand!
