U.S. pilot's gesture brings Brazilian fine

Dudley noted:
What's wrong with this?
You can't even drive a car more or less fly an airplane in the United States
if your middle finger is broken!!!!

Try arthritis in that digit! A rural cop threatened to write me up and and take
me in when he asked for my driver's license the other night in a routine stop.
My doctor has offered to get me an appointment with a hand surgeon to get the
finger permanently set to a less obvious position. Problem is, a folded in
position gets in the way of a lot of things except writing.
Almost got myself in a fist fight with a guy jockeying for the last handicapped
space at Wally World at Christmas :-)
