Chapter 31 Family Ties Part 2

She might but that seems like an easily overlooked detail! It was about five months between the tanker incident and the night in the hospital, after all. ! I know I wouldn't remember after that long but my memory tends to suck.

I'd missed the bit about Brick stopping Scratch from cutting off Burt's left finger; thanks for that little tidbit. Given what we know about Bricks, he seems like a relatively decent guy so I'm going to throw my lot in with the left finger coming in handy idea.

I think you're onto something. She may have started with the right hand just by assumption as most people are right handed without actually having any recollection of which hand he is. He could be left handed, he could be ambidextrous too.

I'm reading between the lines here, but I'm saying he's right handed. Click burt's wiki link. See associated artwork that is kc wayland approved artwork showing burt holding shirley with his right hand.

Not definitive proof, but just sayin'.

Considering the situation back then ...

Tense situation between Lizzy, Saul and Burt on the one side and Latch'n'Scratch on the other side ...
Scratch and Burt are all on par North 'n' South Corea-style ... And then Burt thoroughly aims at the sidewindow of the truck, while Scratch observes him. No distraction at all ...
Five months are no time if you had time to get some detailed impressions of your enemy/ opponent.

No, we do not know, if Burt is right-, left-handed or ambidextrous; I just stick with the odds ... Right-handed males are far more common then lefties or ambidextrous ones ... But I like the idea of him being ambidextrous; and I wouldn't even feel bad, if I am wrong and Burt is a leftie after all ...

He's right handed. Scratch has seen him use his gun before. Chapter 6 I believe. She has a pretty good memory.

Well, that takes care of that. Thanks for the clarification Kc.

You'd better be! How dare you clarify something and stop us from wildly speculating about insignificant and pointless details?!

Kidding, of course. There needs to be some sort of punctuation mark for sarcasm, as a random aside.

It was brought up earlier about that encounter. I was going for new evidence. Shoulda remembered Scratch's given talent for memory.

yup, that would have been me again...the ignored Canadian. I told you you hate us (or is it just me )
...really you don't have to hate us because we have the superior health, banking, governmental, educational, etc, systems...
Okay okay never mind, i wont go there, but let me ask this...

Why isn't Riley a French Canadian?...how many french people do you really have there...especially after your "freedom" fries fiasco...geez

I wonder how Burt survived all those months is what is essentially solitary confinement. Most people would have gone crazy. Burt is one bad mother fucker.
