Our WAY Cool Police!

[Safe_Bet]

This was funny!

My two girls and I went to pick up Chinese food tonight. It was still above 70 degrees so we had the windows all rolled down and the music blaring. We were sitting at a stop signal and all three of us were jam’in to Pink’s song “Tough Stuff” (I’m talking hair flying around SERIOUS jam’in with all three of us singing along).

I looked over just as a police cruiser pulled next to us with two officers in it. The driver looked like he was in his twenties, but the other one had gray hair. Both of them looked at us with this kinda stone faced “cop look” like we were crazy, but I figured the hell with them and we kept singing.

All of a sudden one of the kids said “look at the policemen, mommy!” I looked and both of them were doing this head bob thing like the two disco guys from Saturday Night Live, THEN they started singing along with us! When the light changed, they took off faster than we did (Duh!) and the older officer stuck his arm out the window and extended his index finger and pinkie in the “Rock and Roll” salute.

We DEFINITELY have WAY cool police in San Diego!

*grinz* Cool story, one for the books.

I bet the kids loved it!

Useless piece of trivia: we have Ronnie James Dio to thank for the "horns" that have become synonymous with Rock - and he got them from his mother.

San Diego is a cool place anyhow.

I always thought of that gesture as saying somebody was bullshitting.

If this is what you were thinking of, that means something else entirely.

I don't know about cool cops but there are a few super HOT cops in the valley. I tell you what, no matter your sexual preference... YUM!

Whenever I have to call the police at work I always say a prayer to the person upstairs that the "hot ones" will come.

A great intro to cops for the kids

ummmm..
close.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocker_(hand_gesture)

look at shirts... they are doing the "pitchfork"
The shocker should not be confused with similar looking hand gestures such as "The Pitchfork," (pictured above) which is a hand signal used at Arizona State University. (notice the spacing between the Index and Middle Finger)[3]


I prefer what my brother calle dthe "bowling ball grip" (not precisely how one holds a bowling ball). forefinger plus middle finger in pussy and thumb in ass (approach from behind).

No, the first gesture meant something lke "That is bullshit" and the arm would be extended so the back of the disbeliever's hand was in the face of the speaker. That was a long time ago, during my youth, but rock and roll was around then too, and I don't remember any sign for R & R.

Here, showing index and pinkie with the back of the hand, is the same as calling somebody "queer." You see it a lot in mixed clubs.

 

[fieryjen]

Ah yes, the Shocker (thanks Throbbs, didn't see your post at first ).

Demonstrated best by my all-time favorite TV show.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

It all depends on where and when you were born.

The middle finger by itself meant and still does, "Fuck You"

The index finger with the pinky back of the hand facing away from yourself, "Bullshit"

That's what it meant for my generation - 1950 to whenever it changed.

Cool story, SB.

This is pretty rock n roll.
