I'm hoping Cody or others that know sign language could chime in and help me understand what this sign that Mike (lash) was so graciously trying to tell me in the picture at NEBF. I have been spending numerous days and sleepless nights with Google as my friend but as of yet have not been able to decifer this one sign. Being as Mike has told me that I'm a friend, it couldn't possibly be something nasty...........could it?

Please view photo and help me figure out what it means.

He is telling the person taking the photo that he/she is #1. Purely the best.

It is in my opinion that the index finger is amputated

lash is obviously elderly. the possibility should be noted that lash is suffering from serious arthritis, and was attempting only to wave.

looks like a hang nail issue..

I'm not sure Frank, but it doesn't look anything at all like the sign you gave me at the park at ONBF. I was trying to figure out what THAT was.

it means how many friends he now has after meeting you.

You're number one!

He is showing everyone his boo-boo, isn't that sweet

Naw - he is showing you how good a job his manicurist does.
