That's actually where I've heard this one most times. Although a friend of mine reckons that it's bull, they just wish they had fatter fingers. (No flames please, I’m joking.)
On the subject of Freud I do think that he was quite revolutionary in some of his ideas. The acknowledgement of the subconscious was worthy of note; it especially seems to come up in literature.
A small section of a course that I did on psychology looked at his ideas, but when I studied psychology at university he only ever got a smirking reference by some of my lecturers.
I seem to remember thinking when I did study him that while he failed to provide a model for the general populace, he may well have given the correct analysis of himself. Just a thought though, I never got a chance to take it into any further study.
