Dads, uncles, and grandpas may ask you to pull their finger. In most cultures, it is considered rude to not oblige so a pulling is recommended. What takes place after the pull is left as an exercise for the reader, but the results are often hilarious and almost always harmless.
It is not known where this tradition originated, nor do historians understand why the phenomenon only occurs in males. In all of recorded history, there is no evidence of it ever being performed by a mother, aunt, or grandmother.
PRO TIP: As stated above, this activity is usually very safe and fun, but a word of caution is in order. Depending on the dietary habits of the owner of the finger, you should always be prepared to run or clear the area. Before pulling the finger, take a moment to locate the nearest exit.
