12/11/2004: "Republicans and Democrats"

I was watching west wing today, and in the first season, there is a deaf woman on there. I watch her closely, and cant help it but try and decipher her signs. I was curious after one paticular episode and looked up the sign for Republican and Democrat. I found it funny that the sign for Republican is made with crossed fingers. Signs usually represent what they intend to mean. (Like the sign for fire is made with the fingers looking like dancing flames). Found that funny...but I do have an odd sense of humor.



(and yes meredith, if you ever read this, I know that the fingers are crossed because republican starts with an R, yay for me)

That's curious. I assume the hand waver is to distinguish it from just plain finger spelling of an individual letter. Of course, I guess seeing the sign in full context would make more sense. Oh well, at least they aren't making references to the mascots of the parties.
