TxRover Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 3 hours ago, DA Baracus said: Why do Americans cross their arms when taking off their tips? 2 hours ago, DA Baracus said: When Americans take off, for example, a t-shirt, they cross their arms over to do it. Why? 2 hours ago, Swarley said: @TxRover Try it. As the tee shirt gets pulled over your head, the arms uncrossing allows you to pull it all the way off. Doing it other ways means either regripping or stretching the tee shirt to get an arm in. 2 hours ago, 'WellDel said: I do this. Oh no, does this mean I'm actually American? Please tell me I'm not f**king American? Given the average weight of American’s these days, I’m not sure that as many are f**king as say they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was talking about circumcision. You'd need to tie me down, personally. A while back, I saw a video that mentioned the "crossing arms when removing top" thing, and gave some kind of explanation about why Americans do it that way. That's about as much as I remember, but it seemed logical. I hope this post has been informative 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
