Whoa.... Ok, well be careful with that, then... o.O

-Offers tea-

If he really pisses you off... Wanna know a cool trick that he can't do to you? It hurts like hell for most guys. It might not work on him though... (And parents can't tell you off because you're not kicking him in between the legs.)

Press his thumb forwards. Making sure the joint bends. Hurts like hell for guys (toes work too, the big toe) but doesn't affect girls at all.

I love my Health teacher. :D

[nathan_p]

Nooo really?

I need to go find someone to try this on. *suspicious*

[Xuut]

Do it on your brother!

Yeah, my teacher did it to a couple guys in my class. Only one didn't get affected. Twas hilarious. She does it on her husband all the time apparently.

[nathan_p]

Hahaha yeah I need to go try this.

...also, I tried it on myself and smirked at the screen for a minute before realizing something: in actual fact, I'm not a dude.

[EndOfTheEarth]

*tries*
Where exactly? I'm not getting anything.

[nathan_p]

I couldn't figure it out either -- I think the middle joint?

[EndOfTheEarth]

:/
Still not getting anything. Probably because my thumbs are 'double-jointed.' Conceptually, the pressure thing will work on any joint that isn't as loose...like if you try and begin to bend your hand down toward your forearm.

[Xuut]

Okay, so girls can do this:

So what you do is push down so that the guy's thumb is like that. Usually it hurts.

[nathan_p]

Waiiit. It... shouldn't being able to do that just be part of having opposable thumbs?

[Xuut]

They can't bend that far.

They can bend to a certain point before it starts to hurt.

[nathan_p]

Huh. I tried that out on both my hands, minimal pain. But how can your fingers stay straight when you do that? XD
