Apparently they watch a lot of American TV programs. Usually in those shows, the characters point to something at the crime scene to guide the police photographer (and the audience) to the evidence. The rescuers misunderstand this as "Westerners point to the evidence in crime photos" and they showcase this misinterpretation in these pointing photos.

I have to wonder how these guys handle retirement. Does picking their nose send them back to when they were valued for their finger work?

Nice comp! Thanks

[WonderMomma]

Nice collection. Where would we all be without pointers and flip flops?

I like the one where he's literally holding the leg/foot.

The pointers get a bad rap man. How the hell else are we going to know where the body is?

[Shadolife]

I get your point. Nice job!

[REVZZYBAN]

Thank you all for pointing that out, Allright already, jeez, I get the point.

Loose your right index finger and your out of a job, (left index is to pick nose/ass).

It’s a part of their religion…they are volunteers and this is evidence that they have been helping the dead and allows them to satisfy god that they are worthy
