The Shocker annoys local high school principal; hilarity ensues.

I read the whole thing and am still awaiting the hilarity.

isn't this a repost?
Maybe I just saw it on Fark.

Still, however, not hilarious.

I fail to see how the principal has the authority to fine his students.

Yeah, I kept waiting for the punchline. Or at least the odd twist.

The odd twist comes from the pinky, jpoulos.

I found the phrase "digital sodomy" quite amusing, it has to be said.

I'd like to say I meant to put hilarity in quotation marks. But I didn't.

The tips of my left-hand index finger and pinky were amputated in a childhood accident, leaving the first joint and just less than half an inch of the next distal segment. My middle and ring fingers were unharmed and are whole.

"The Shocker" technique leaves one important area of the female anatomy untouched. I don't. ;-P

Yeah? Well my hand has six fingers, which is like the volume knob going to eleven. It also helps when killing fathers.

Thank you Hildago for enlivening a thread threatened by the superior.

I thought that's what the thumb was for?

"fill me in"

Is that like saying "Do me"?

How are you going to reach the earlobe from there?

Here's my "shocker." That none of the parents blamed the KIDS for making an obscene and unwarrented gesture. Noooo..... they hop all over the principal who was trying to make a point of what is right and wrong. But yet again, little Billy and Suzy do no wrong and the parents jump all over the WRONG PEOPLE. We see this again and again. When are parents going to discipline their kids and force them to take responsibility for their actions?

Won't someone think of the fingerfucking kids?

Reading the account, I started to get mad, but finding that justice was pretty much done, I can't help but see it as a kind of feel-good, inspirational anecdote. It's a shame that the gestures got airbrushed, but obviously the photos still exist, and the whole incident will have a legacy that will make the shitstain principal sick to think about.

Huh. I call it "two in the goo, one in the poo."

This was merely part of the annual sports photography cycle at my HS before I graduated. Shock, airbruch, shock, airbrush, rinse, repeat.

I cannot for a second imagine my parents getting upset with anyone over this kind of thing. They tended to worry about important things in my life.

Also, this is the kind of incident that really makes you think. To wit, "If Dr. Spock's Vulcan salute is what I think it is, those Vulcans have some hard-loving wimmin."

From Papercake's Link:

The Big Shocker

Comically oversized.
Not yet obscene to the general public.
Great Mother's Day gift
Get the color of your favorite team, school, or family coat of arms. Grandma will LOL!


Hmmmm... One wonders what Grandma knows.

I think The Shocker is also referred to as Thumb and the loneliest finger.

This is also hilarious.
