Tired of discussing the Bunnymen and all the bands that have been influenced by them? This is the place for you.

Hippy

Postby withahip » Thu Nov 01, 2007 7:03 am

Saw something on live tv yesterday that I am sure went over the heads of 95% of Americans - but thought many of you might get it. Ok, this may go over like a zeppelin, but here goes:

I am watching a morning "news" show and they cut to the weather. Everyone out in Rockefeller Plaza (in NYC) is in their Halloween costumes. The weather man does his small talk thing.

"Hi Mom, what do we have here?"

"My daughter is a hippy."
To little girl-
"Do you know what a hippy is? Can you make the peace sign?"

Little girl sticks up and spreads middle and index fingers.

"Ok, you just want to turn your hand the other way. Now onto the weather."

if the peace sign is facing one way, it means 'peace'....if it's facing the other way, it means something like 'up yours!'.....or something to that effect! :lol:

That's okay, neither did I.
