Hey Bob, where are you located?
It seems you are joking, but people DO rotate their bicycle tires because they wear out on the left side.

Many roads are made with a slight rounded curve that goes un-noticed to the naked eye. This is to allow rain to run off the roads/streets.

As a result, the tire ever so slightly is riding on the side of a slope. This wears the tires to the inside of the road more than to the outside. IF you have ever noticed it, this is the reason why.
