FICKLE FINGER OF FATE -- by Steve Nadis
I was walking to the Y for my Friday evening handball game, around the corner from my house, when a woman I'd never seen before gave me the finger as we passed on the sidewalk. It took my totally by surprise. "Hey, what's that all about?" I yelled. But she did not say anything. Just kept walking. And the impact of her unexpected gesture have stayed with me ever since.
