It's a good thing he didn't try to make the "I'm three years old" sign.

From the Babylon Bee.

"NEW YORK, NY—The Anti-Defamation League has issued a new recommendation for people who want to avoid making any problematic hand gestures: cutting off your hands.  In a video published to its site, the ADL showed how to safely cut off your hands and prove once and for all you are not a racist."
