[PD] Need Help Understanding pack

[Ludwig Maes]

Here in belgium, in dutch, we also say other right/left, but since
french is one of our languages, that could be the origin, on the other
hand I dont really believe its language related: from inside a head
your left eye is not the same as from outside the head (like face
culling in OpenGL,...).
Instead I would think its just a softening for pointing out a mistake
through use of humor.
