Hands tell a story



Sham S. Misri
1. Adolf Hitler had a habit of standing with his hands clasped in front of his genitals. This is a defensive posture and it’s commonly used by people who feel socially or sexually insecure. In Hitler’s case it prompted the joke at the time that he was ‘hiding the last unemployed member of the Third Reich.’
2. Whenever we think of Napoleon Bonaparte, it’s said that his trademark tell was his habit of walking with his hands clasped behind his back, a practice that made him instantly recognizable to his troops, even at a great distance.
