Or is it that it contains so little actual humor that it's ironic? Does that eat itself? Maybe I just don't get it.

Maybe I just don’t get it.

Any physiotherapists care to confirm?

That is pretty damned lame. When he comes to London he'd better flip some people off properly. Also, the V sign is not 'the finger' or 'flipping off'. other than actors, he only flipped off two people, one was asleep and the other couldn’t see his finger behind the menu.

Things to look for - is the thumb held out or tucked in? is the finger perpendicular to the arm or does it continue along the same line? are both middle fingers deployed with the arms moving up and down? Dear #11,
You seem like you must be a very sweet person, in that you’ve evidently not been doing enough to be given the finger enough to see the wide range of finger-giving styles that vary from region to region and person to person. Things to look for – is the thumb held out or tucked in? is the finger perpendicular to the arm or does it continue along the same line? are both middle fingers deployed with the arms moving up and down?
