Something I just noticed in "Eyewitness Blues" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Heart Shaped Box · 04-16-2006, 10:13 PM

Right in the beginning where Jack picks up the phone and talks to Janet, he gets out her appointment book and he writes down in it. But I just noticed that he was writing with his left hand. Now, I know that John was just probably scribling something down and it didn't matter what he wrote, but does anyone think he could be a left hander and a right hander? I'm pretty sure I've seen him write with his right hand, but who knows?

good observation. i'm assuming his dominant hand held the phone, and he scribbled with what was left over (no pun intended hardy har) or maybe it was a less awkward position to write with left hand and face the camera

Yeah.... If you think about it having your arms crissed crossed doesnt make a lot of sence..... But hey im a lefty...i scribble with my right sometimes.... just as long as I can read it...

PS
I like how he says...
"It's right here... Take- Jack- to- luu-nch........ Hoowa free lunch.."
The way he said it was like a little kid trying to read.. it was cute

That's odd...far as I know, John is right-handed (judging by other episodes I've seen...can't remember specific names, though).

Yeah, John was right-handed because I've seen him write on the show and in movies and it's always with his right hand. I didn't pay attention to what hand he was using to write when I last watched this episode, but my guess, like queenFrostine278 said, is that he was holding the phone with his dominant hand and scribbled with his left.

Yeah, I noticed this a few weeks ago too! My dad is a lefty and he notices everybody that is left handed and he said "Did he just write with his left hand?" But, maybe he could have been both. Some people are. My dad can only write with his left. The rest he does is with his right. Or John could have just been trying to atleast look like he's writing something...
