The Peace Sign...

Peace sign changes depending on where you are in the USA…

So I find it funny…if you think about it the peace sign seems to be different things in different places and can be shown in different ways.  Stay with me…here in California you see the first two fingers held up as if you are a two year old learning just how many fingers you are old…this means a very simple, ‘PEACE’ meaning, ‘all good’ ‘we’re all friends here…being nice to everyone AND the trees’

                If you drive through this state you’ll always get this same sign.  It’s pleasant and makes one feel sweet and warm inside…you head through Colorado and even Texas and these signs change.

                 Instead of the first 2 fingers up there’s a fist with the first finger and pinkie held up tightly…this sign is thrown into the air in a rough manner…sometimes a facial expression of super crazy goes with it.  What does this mean?  It means “Hell yeah!!”  (Excuse my French) it’s a crude way of saying ‘Oh, Yeah!!’  This sign is basically a cowboy sign…or it can be a satan sign…I personally claim it as a Bull type cowboy sign…you know with the horns…its fun to do…try it!  You see this sign and you might wanna hit something!!

               You keep moving east where people move from hand signs to a wave that’s polite and kind saying ‘thanks, or go ahead.’  This sign is one you see in Indiana, Tennessee, or Kentucky.  This is a very nice sign to see.  Again, leaving you with a fuzzy warm feeling that makes you want to pass it on, or pay it forward.

                If you were to keep driving east all of a sudden you know you are in New York when you see their sign…they simply hold up the middle finger…as if saying, “Why are you alive and close to me?”  Or “BUG-off!” (I have to REALLY shelter these words)…this is NOT a nice or good sign.  In fact if you happen to see this sign being given (and hopefully it’s not being given to you) walk or better yet, RUN or drive the opposite way!  The people that give these signs are NOT friendly!  They are grumpy people with NO joy in their lives…People in California just don’t get those folks!

Now you have it…the signs of the USA from Stacie’s perspective!  If you don’t agree…well who cares, it’s just my thought that’s all!!  Come up with your own, but don’t forget to tell me!!
