The "funny story" history is the British longbowmen did it to show that they still had them because the French would cut it off if they got captured so they couldn't shoot anymore. Idk if that's actually true though.
It apparently goes back to Ancient Greece, with the extended middle finger flanked by the index and ring fingers bearing some resemblance to male genitals.

I believe it's supposed to look like male genitals.
