North Korean Soldier Says Screw You

In this picture of a North Korean soldier, it looks like he is playing the "I've got your nose" game, but in reality he is echoing the sentiment of the "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il. In Korea, when you stick your thumb between your first and second fingers as the young man above is doing, it means the same as an extended middle digit in the U.S. I found this fact out the hard way with my first wife, a Korean, when we were dating. I grabbed her nose, stuck my thumb through my fingers and before I could say "I've got your nose" she smacked me and said "fluck you too!"
