My left hand doesn't know what my right hand is doing

Left hand thread on the left side, Right hand thread on the right.
We had enough trouble in the army with drivers even knowing which way a nut and bolt screwed together in the first place; God help him if we switched a pair of hubs on him.

I remember in Cypress, during a regimental competition, we mechanics swapped a cuople of lh/rh studs on the infantry guys jeep trailers (they had to change tires from left to right, and then manually tow the trailer around a course). It didn't make a shread of difference to them. We could have beat them even without cheating.
