True story: when I was at A&M, I was at a party in Austin and convinced a UT coed the the hook'em sign was actually the way that eunochs used to greet each other in Ancient Greece, with the two folded fingers designating missing testicles. Admittedly she was pretty drunk at the time, and I always regretted the fact that I had not used my persuasive skills more to my benefit, but I was still proud of myself.
