Given The Finger By Bad Drivers?

What goes around comes around.

It seems that when male drivers act like complete gimps, it’s not their fault - it’s a matter of poor breeding. According to Tom Vanderbilt’s reporting, it’s something to do with relative testosterone & estrogen levels that they experienced in the womb . Those with longer ring fingers than index fingers were doused in testosterone for nine months, and this finger-length-ratio is a good predictor of the number of penalty points that the driver will have on their license. Longer ring finger = worse (more motoring offences) driver.

So next time you almost get killed by an impatient, inconsiderate lunatic behind the wheel, and you feel tempted to show them how you feel, by giving them the finger . . . make sure it’s your ring finger you hold up, not your middle one.

That way, they’ll know you’re sympathising that they’re just victims of their breeding, and that despite their behaviour, you still love them as a person.

Or something like that.
