Supports my hip, wrap tools in hankerchiefs...

Found this online. And in the interests of preserving gay history, I thought I'd repost it here.

The Handkerchief Code

The "Hanky Code" is a traditional form of signaling to others what your sexual preferences and interests are. Gay men used this code to communicate with each other in the noisy and distracting environment of gay bars. Although not as widely used these days, it is still a worthwhile resource and, among those who know, a great conversation starter.
There are several versions of the "Hanky Code". This is the version that seemed the most accurate to us.

I think this probably HAS to be all inclusive, cause I don't think they MAKE hankies in all those colors. And there's a few of the..actions that even I don't know what they mean! Never thought there'd be some gay sex act Uncle Polt would not have heard of! Freaky, innit?
