The International Language

Did you ever stop to think that if you gave someone the "thumbs up" in Italy it would have a less than desired effect? Nay, it would be detrimental. Instead of encouraging and rewarding its recipient, the upturned thumb is in fact a rude command, beseeching whomsoever sees it to do unspeakable things with their thumb: things requiring the use of a handy wipe when finished. This and other extremely interesting and useful facts can be gleaned by the readers of this highly insightful monograph. I give it one finger up!

A Must Read for Life in the 90s

I loved this book - it was short, sweet, and sassy. The authors answer all the questions I ever had about flipping people off and more. I learned fun facts about giving the finger and good arguments to use in court should I ever get arrested for my use of the finger. A literary work that has been missing from America's bookshelf for entirely too long.

Probably the most important book of all time

this book changed my life! before i felt like i had a meaningless existance but now, after seeing celebrities flip me off, i feel sure that i do. actually, i really read this book for the articles. its analysis of the law and the middle finger was well researched and will doubtlessly affect the rulings of the courts for generations to come. buy this book! you won't be sorry
