I am left handed and remember well when Bic ballpoint pens first arrived. They weren't very good. The ink blobbed at the point and left messes on the page. Since I don't right backhanded like many lefties, my hand would drag through the ink blots. It wasn't a pretty sight! (According to the Bic site, "1958 - BIC enters the North American market.")

I remember those first pens well, and that teachers were still trying to get lefties to write with their right hands!
Or at least right backhanded in an attempt to have the writing look "correct' with a proper slant.
