Awkward Turtle

So I'm trying to figure out just exactly how common it is for someone to know what the "awkward turtle" is. I guess I didn't hear about it until I went to Rhodes. Somehow the subject was brought up at work and the only people who had heard of it were former Rhodes students. However, when I google 'the awkward turtle' it seems to be a fairly popular hand gesture. Yes, it's a hand gesture. Basically it's used during an awkward moment of silence. People at work made fun of me even having heard of this. Maybe that makes me awkward. Or better yet maybe that makes them awkward.Hmmm either way I don't I've actually ever used this hand gesture, but I'm thinking now could be the time to start. You're probably wondering how this hand gesture goes. Well, I initially was going to post a picture demonstrating it, but I wasn't able to find one that did it justice. So, I'll just leave it to the imagination. And anyways, if you're reading this you're probably a friend of mine and have already seen me do it. In conclusion, I'm not posting a picture of the gesture!
