It's a little like life. In 1875 one would get a pretty little label, nowadays, (if you are lucky) you get "the finger." http://cjoint.com/data/gnckRCdYi5.htm |

For the less observant, try imitating the image on the Australian label, it becomes apparent the finger pointing, has to be the middle digit. Was this a naughty joke by the designer?

It appears people have been getting the finger since 1592 according to this study. Only in Australia it appears, that the middle digit is employed. http://cjoint.com/data/gncFYPQXUg.htm "rodney" wrote in message ...

They did appear on returned mail, where the DLO opened mail to try and get a return address (not shown on cover). If they were successful, then the envelope was sealed with this stamp and the envelope was returned to sender. Blair |

I believe we are seeing the middle finger folded, *behind* the index finger. Look at which lines overlap which. Albeit still rude, the gesture is with the first finger. -- Joshua H.

You're probably right, too much flyspecking on my behalf. I'll have to get out more "Joshua McGee" I disagree. I believe we are seeing the middle finger folded, *behind* the index finger. Look at which lines overlap which. Albeit still rude, the gesture is with the first finger. |
