h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

While trying to devise a secret sign for FootiNooti members to smugly flash at each other across the forum, we realized that some members may have difficulty with anatomically restrictive handshakes.

So: if your anatomy does not, in any way, resemble the one found here:
http://www.innerbody.com/htm/body.html

be it in number of limbs or their placement, do let us know.

thank you,
The committee

I don't know !!! I'm not old enough to be grey all over yet !!! And the pinky inner bits, well, I only assume that I have some of 'em...

On a typical day, I have but one head, four limbs, etc. Mind you, after a few and meeting a dance floor, I think I sprout a couple of extra lower-left-limbs ...

Hmm... This better? (Rated for nudity.)

Leo?

*leans closer to whisper*

Do you think this is such a good idea?

I mean, which limbs exctly are we supposed to be smugly flashing, anyway?

*looks up*

As you were, everyone, just a bit of a conflab going on between the two heads of FootiNooti

I was wondering, after I hit the post button. Some serious post-post re-thoughts.

Can we trust everyone to limit this to arms and legs and ears and heads and noses and fingers and toes and mouths and eyes?

Well, if the girls smugly flash their bits, I'll flash mine...

Children, behave. I officially use my official vested powers etc etc to limit the salute/handshake business to things one can do exclusively with the aforementioned physical features.

Er, yes ma'am...

When I saw this convo in my list I thought it was a guide entry in PR.

I was momentarily very confused.

Wet haddock for DDD. Hey Wilma, these are awfully usefully.

I chose a terribly provocative title Hey, it brought you in, didn't it?

Right, having just caught up on the backlog in the other thread I now know what we are up to...

Feet must definitely be involved to cover the 'Footi' aspect. And the nose I suspect for the 'Nooti' bit. (Tenuous, I know)

So, I suggest we need to smugly (and discretely) touch our noses with at least one foot.

That should still work OK for one-legged members as long as they are sitting down!

Nose-less members will still need to be catered for though...

11 minutes and I still can't work out how to do this discreetly enough for a pub at the summer meet.



*if* I were going, that is

What? You can't discreetly touch your foot to your nose? Then I guess we must accomodate your peculiar physique and come up with something new.

You calling me peculiar?



pots and kettles, m'dear?
