>>>As he was explaining that your left hand was cut off for committing
murder, he turned to look at us and we both noticed that the gentleman did
not have a left hand <<<

I had a similar experience here.  We have several mounted Pleistocene mammal
skeletons, with one side covered by a fiberglass mockup of the animal.  They
don't usually attract much attention, but one time I saw a man pondering
them.  He had a long, full beard on one side of his face, but the other was
clean-shaven.  I had to rush out of the hall so I could collapse laughing.
