Koohii stories:

1) [akotkav] 5-3-2006(224): When someone's elbow is above your mouth he/she is probably standing on a pedestal.

2) [akrodha] 12-11-2006(160): After training your whole life, you manage to get a bronze medal in the Olympics. You're extremely proud of your accomplishment as you step up to receive your medal. The guy in first place is up on a pedestal, towering above you, his elbow level with your mouth. Being a smug bastard, he "accidentally" knocks his elbow into your mouth, causing you to bleed and lose a tooth. Just cause he won the gold doesn't mean he can place himself on such a high pedestal and do whatever he wants!

3) [nest0r] 16-11-2007(96): Rodin's 'Thinker' sitting on a pedestal, the arm bent at the elbow cradling the mouth.

4) [frychiko] 24-7-2008(44): Think Indiana Jones… he rests his ELBOW on some ancient pedestal to gather his thoughts, when all of a sudden an OPENING appears in a wall and treasure is revealed!

5) [Rivvie] 15-12-2008(24): It is physically impossible to put your elbows in your mouth (just try it…) the first one to do so deserves to be on a pedestal.
