    Which one would that be--the finger, or the rapid up and down wrist movement?


    Some people's comments are like fastballs, hard to hit. Other people lob them in there, presenting at least somewhat of a challenge. Your's, well, it's like Tee-ball...:)

    Nope...that sort of activity is not in my normal wheelhouse. Nor is my language peppered with expletives.

    When ya'll get to me I growl...sigh...and exclaim "Damn Kids!". Then usually move on.

    I just gave the finger to Mother Nature. I'm sick of this winter that won't end. (Check local listings.)

    My mother yes my mom. Use to stick her pinky finger. Then she would say "This is the feather because your not worth the hole bird!"

    What made this so funny is she was model, she was even on the cover of a few magazines.so here was this pretty lady always dressed to the T doing it.
    When we lived in Southern California she drove a Chalinger with a 440 in it.. I remember more than once that she would race guys with us in the car. Guys hated losing to her.:D

    I never use that gesture either. I generally just stare at people and give them what my boss calls my "Dragon Mom" look.

    I do curse more than I should though. :nonod: Sometimes it just seems to be the best way to appropriately express how I feel. :biggrin5:

    I know that look. My wife could make our daughter cry just by looking at her like that.

    No fingers issued discriminately today. My wife has ridden with me everywhere I've gone. However, the day is not yet done... I'm driving alone to the car club meeting at 1815.

    Ok so I'm back from the meeting. While driving through downtown in our fine little city, I had a perfect opportunity to flip off this guy in a Ford diesel pickup. But, I chose not to because his cock blocker driving technique kept me from an inevitable ticket had I chosen to bury the gas pedal. Yep the officer was sitting just up the block. Sometimes I guess it pays to be more patient than foolish... And, our officers don't necessarily agree that the posted speeds are mere suggestions.

    To be honest, I don't give the finger anymore; I smile my biggest smile and give an exaggerated, overly enthusiastic wave. I find it much more effective. But if I attempted that maneuver and received the "Dragon Mom" stare in reply, I'd be at an utter loss on how to appropriately proceed from there.....

    I gave a well deserved bird (a double pump) to a guy in a grey Chevy pickup earlier this evening, after he ran the stop sign I was approaching, about a block from my house! He really ought'a not have done that.

    I usually just laugh and keep going...

    No need for a finger.
