How come WE don't have a hand signal for Kerry?
Edited on Thu Oct-07-04 08:55 AM by underpants
This W (three fingers) crap is at once stupid but also effective, everyone knows what you mean.

How about a right hand thumb up index and middle finger extended to make a "K"?

Or holding up a "W" and using the other hand's index finger to cross through it?

Any thoughts? Or am I just an idiot?

ON EDIT- misspelled "an" so that sorta answers the last question huh?

2. what's the "sign" for the letter K
(I think it's like a peace sign with the thumb upright between the fingers)

4. I would not use hand signs
Unless conversing with someone using sign language, it's just not something I would do.

I didn't even know they'd come up with a hand sign for *. Considering the frat boy mentality, it's not really too surprising.

5. Because we don't need hand signals to remember our candidate's name.
:D

9. Several times I have had someome give me the "thumbs up"
signal, then I notice that they have a K/E bummper sticker. Now everytime I see a car with the K/E bummper sticker I pass them and give them the thumbs up. Big smiles all around.

10. Well, it shows how stupid these assholes are
In most of the developed world, ie cites, that means white power or in some places a gang.

Good way to get killed.

11. In the late 60's early 70's ..
that was the symbol for "War". Fitting, ain't it?

13. That was the "peace" sign, not the "V" sign back then among
the people who whould have been there. A WWII vet would have shot the "V" for Victory. And some wise ass from England would clue us in to it's meaning "across the pond".
