Photos of the "Talmudic Shrug."

I’m working on a writing/research project and am talking about about something that’s been called the “Talmudic Shrug,” which I describe as:

“A physical gesture that recognizes that nobody (not even G_d) has all the answers. The gesture, which is often seen as a stereotype, comprises a sort of hunching of the shoulders, arms pressed at one’s sides, palms facing up. This often-repeated choreography serves as a response to any one of a dozen dilemmas…the gesture is saying why not…or it won’t hurt to try…or who knows?”

Though I can clearly visualize my grandparents using this gesture as a universal answer to everything, I’d really love to get a picture of the shrug in action–something from an old movie, perhaps, to illustrate my paper. As odd as it sounds, I’m wondering if anyone can recall a scene where the shrug is prominent.

I know that some will see this as a stereotype, which is part of my essay. I’d love to hear (not for publication, just for discussion here) comments on the notion, as well. Thanks in advance.
