Presenting this year’s IgNobel Peace Prize! To the president of Belarus, Alexandar Lukashenko, for making it illegal to applaud in public. The Belarus State Police apparently then arrested a one-arms man for applauding.
But for our purposes the Zen Koan needs to be answered by your doctor.
"Two hands clap and there is a sound, what is the sound of one hand?
The answer;
There is a book;
One Hand Clapping is a 1961 work by Anthony Burgess 
There's this YouTube video if you want to emulate him.

The Amazing One-Handed Clap!



Takeaway, Don't visit Belarus after your stroke.

Its depressing not to be able to clap after a theater performance.   Leaving Iowa last night at the Riverwalk theater.
