George W. Bush shocker

If you’ve been on the Internet lately, you’ve probably seen this picture of the President of the United States making a hand gesture that you probably wouldn’t make in front of your own mother. He only did it while posing with the men’s and women’s track teams from Arizona State University and then posted it on the official White House website. It turns out this affront to human decency also doubles as the “ASU Pitchfork” (cause they’re like … Devils), which makes it merely a symbol of the occult and not at all perverted.

It is still pretty funny.

The “ASU Pitchfork” is similar to a dirty hand gesture known as “The Shocker”.

For those of you who don’t know what “The Shocker” is, Wikipedia explains:

The shocker is a hand gesture with a sexual connotation. The ring finger and thumb are curled or bent down while the other fingers are extended. The index and middle fingers are kept together (touching) and the back of the hand faces outwards (away from the gesturer). The gesture refers to the act of inserting the index and middle fingers into a vagina and the little finger into the unwitting anus, hence the “shock”. Because of its explicit sexual connotation, the shocker is sometimes considered vulgar. Occasionally, the thumb may be positioned so that it may stimulate the clitoris. Mnemonic rhymes are used in order to remember its meaning, including “two in the pink, one in the stink.”

Oh my!
