Tip of the day: Avoid tasteless humor.

Why do men's clothes have buttons on the right and women's
on the left?
The Answer:
This custom began for practical purposes. Since it's easier
to push a button through its hole with the right hand, and
since most people are right-handed, men's clothes have
buttons on the right side. Makes sense, don't you think?
So why don't women's clothes operate the same way? Because,
when clothes with buttons were first introduced, women who
could afford to buy them were dressed by servants. Since
the servant would be facing the woman, the buttons were put
on the servant's right side, which of course is the woman's
left side.
