Ah... Le drapeau français.

France is blue, white, red.

Also worth noting, the French flag does not have a Jonathan Adler piece on it. ;p

I just know one of the fingers would break off, and I just know what finger it would be.

Leaving me with an obscene gesture, or searching for just the right size of white candle to stick in the index finger hole.

True Blue. If you turn the hand round, its an obscene gesture already...

It is?

I don't get it. What does it mean?

Well, in the nicest possible way, and only because you asked me - it means "F*ck off" ;-)

And is very much known as such in UK, so do be careful not to get your "Peace" sign wrong if you visit... - which we would mostly see as "V for Victory" and not at all peaceable in any case :-)

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July. A two fingered salute at the Brits perhaps not totally out of place on that day in any case...

Really? I did not know that. I bet Jonathan Adler doesn't know that either. Maybe he doesn't sell things in the U.K.?

Reminds me of the old story about the Chevrolet Nova. It didn't sell well in Mexico. Apparently "Nova" was interpreted as "No Va" meaning "No Go".

There are three important qualities of a car:
It should go.
It should stop.
It should steer.

Without one of those, the car is useless.

Thanks Lesley - London!
