I was told of this but in Australia the deaf use Auslan. And a woman went into the local school for the deaf and asked if they had an American exchange teacher working with them. They said yes why. Apparently a bus load of small children past her signing out the song Twinkle twinkle little vagina. LOL. Apparently the sign for vagina in Australia is the same as star in America.
