I didn't know there was such a thing, until tonight. I saw a news article where a White House intern "denied" making the "white power" hand signal.
Sheesh...I'm going to do that all the time from now on. I won't post it here...easy to find.

well I am not raciest as I have waved my one finger salute to any and all regardless of race ,if I have deemed it necessary to convey my feelings [:D]
Learned a lesson about signs 50 years ago.
Cold, car stalled coming out of lot, started it up,, and some idiot started honking at me,, flipped him the bird out the side window w/o looking.
Cop pulled me over and said is was because of "flipping the guy" off, I said he was honking, cop said, it was the guy behind him that was honking and he asked me if I'd like a ticket and I said "For What'.
INDECENT GESTURE,,,,, said no and I wouldn't do it again.
Lesson: An "indecent gesture charge" on your record is worth saying I'll never do it again. Still a scary thought. Fail your security clearance 10 years in the future and you may never know why.
So now the OK sign is not ok anymore?
Yep, looks that way and the finger is YOUR IQ so don't use that either. When you see others use the finger say,, Darn your IQ is low.[:D]

That has not an indecent gesture as determined by the courts. It is a first amendment right. Except if you do it to a judge. Then he will throw you in jail.

No. It's better. OK?
I never knew we had a white power sign except the fellows in the white robes [B)]

Yeah, you just photoshopped the doobie out of the pic
Which- come to think of it- would apply to a lot of the people in DC....

In this climate raising the right hand with fingers together will be labeled a Nazi salute. Better get used to throwing the "live long and prosper" hand sign to get someone's attention.
The "okay" hand sign meant something else. The thumb and pointy finger made the "hole" and the other three fingers a s s to complete the word [:D]. Unless it depends on which hand made the sign? Right hand "okay" left hand not okay?
