Has Two Thumbs And



Let's say somebody is talking about something you have no interest in. Now, you could say, "yeah, Whatever", but that lacks a certain ... flair. Fortunately, there is a better alternative:

"Step 1: Pronounce the phrase, "What has two thumbs and doesn't care?" Step 2: Hold up both hands at chest level, fingers curled and thumbs out, with the thumbs pointing toward yourself. Step 3: (optional) "This guy!""

Naturally, the expression may be easily modified to express other things.
