As I’m typing this I am quietly appreciating how useful my fingers are, they really are responsible for so much of what we do on a daily basis. In New Zealand (where I live), sign language is a national language (along with English and Māori), don’t think it is for America but I do remember when my kids would come home from school and show me what they learned in sign language. The fact that we have made a language using just fingers is pretty cool I reckon.
Well, while using my fingers, I have typed up my list of finger jokes (made by real people who have fingers! not AI!). I hand selected each of these, given the thumbs up to them all and added ones myself. At the end there is a free printable version of some of the jokes in case you wish to print and cut them out. If you have any finger puns to add, let me know in the comments so I can add them to the list.
