Stinkin’ Thinkin’

What’s the sign language for “I hate you,” or does the middle finger suffice? You know, for those times when you want to convey to someone from across the room that you wish them a slow and painful death, something along the lines of “May the fleas from a 1000 camels infest your nose hairs for all eternity.” A hand signal that you could take a picture of and send to someone’s Iphone. I just think the middle finger is overdone. It’s become so ubiquitous it’s lost its bite. It’s like the equivalent of giving someone the raspberry (which you can’t really do in polite company without looking like a first-grader). I need something more obscure. Something only deaf people know, but the intended victim could look it up. Huh…maybe I’ll look it up.
