Communicating(the old school way)

Communication had been a very important aspect in our everyday life. With the advancement of modern technology, it changes our ways of communicating with each other. From telephone lines to the internet, satellites to 3G, video-conferencing to cyber sex. As an engineer (future engineer......hopefully.....pray 2 god), i understand the importance of communications for the betterment of humankind. But i want to bring you back to the oldest but most efficient method of communicating. This long forgotten method is still being used now, even in the midst of all this advance technologies.

The Common 3rd Finger.

- with a closed fist, extend the middle finger out.
- use to send messages such as : "Fuck you"or"Fuck off"or"Lick my balls, you donkey-raping-shit-eater"
- use to show aggression, authority, drunk, warning, attitude, very drunk, etc.

~what it looks like on the receiving end, also means that you're an asshole to somebody~

The 3rd Finger with Extended Thumb.

- almost the same as its counterpart above, the only difference is with the thumb extended out with the middle finger.
- this gives an illusion that your message is much bigger and clearer to the receiver.
- the receiver could receive it even if he/she is 100m away.
- widely used while operating on a automobile, especially when the horn is broken.

The Inverted 3rd Finger.

- introduced much later compared to the both.
-same as the rest, but this time the thumb is slotted in between the index and middle finger.
-used by people who wants to break away from the traditional 3rd finger.
-common amongst the younger generation because it potrays sophistication and individuality.

The Two-handed 3rd Finger.

- from the diagram(not a good one, apologies), clearly shown the use of the other hand.
-mostly aided with audio, which is the sound of the slapping made from hitting the back of the 3rd fingered hand.
-used when the sender feels ultimately provoked.
-gives an advantage when showing it to blind people because of the audio aid.(but seriously don't do it to blind people, you'll go to hell)

This are the very few of this ever so popular method of communicating. With so many raw and talented people everywhere, many variations of it has already been created. Like the Italians "whathefuck" sign which had been popularized quite recently in movies, sitcoms and the Serie A. Therefore sometimes the old is always the way to go. So what are the pro's and con's of this method?
Advantages:
-inexpensive and effective.
-simple and easy to be implemented.
-no latency.
-no interference.
Disadvantages:
-crude and old.
-might get your ass kicked.
-not suitable to be used on parents/in-laws/lecturers/deans/authority figures/ah longs/triads/20ft great white shark/anything that might get you killed.
