Ahh, finger. What a great name for a command. It has caused much amusement 
for me in the past.

I once asked a female friend why she had this silly stuff in her .plan
file. "Oh, I put it in there months ago and then forgot about it. I never
finger myself ya see. Why would I want to finger myself? So I just...." 
Followed by a red face and laughter all around...

Or go up to some girl in the terminal room and address her by name. "How
do you know my name??" "Well I just fingered you"

Cheep joke, but great conversation starter... Or ender if she is shy...
