Both the President Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization,
Mahmoud Abbas, and the Prime Minister of Israel,
Benjamin Netanyahu, are left handed. At least they can agree on one thing: those ink smears sure are a mess! As you can see from the photos below, they have adopted different pen-holding strategies to try to minimize the problem.

Netanyahu uses loop-over grip |
This situation creates what may be a unique opportunity: They could simultaneously sign an agreement and shake hands on it at the same time. Maybe President Obama and Prime Minister Cameron could join in (both also lefties).
