OMG. For playing such a tough guy on the internet, you don't know to *never* tuck your thumb inside your fingers when making a fist? You'll break your thumb every time.

You ball your fingers into a tight fist, and tuck your thumb *outside* the fingers tightly.

I guess they don't teach that in liberal arts skewl. Make a note of it. :-)
