    Why do we wear black arm bands on the left arm?

    Question #18010. Asked by miss laney. (Apr 06 02 8:13 PM)

    		It denotes that you are in mourning or have been to a funeral. At one time, it was considered in bad taste not to dress in black. These days, not only is it impractical, it can also be expensive. So now an arm band is used and even that isn't very common anymore. At least around here.

    		Probably because the majority of people are right handed so it was easier to put it on the left arm with your right hand

    		Thank you SM. The question didn't ask 'as opposed to the right arm.'
