I just came across town during rush hour (something I don't normally have to do) and noticed about 85% of the "drivers" were talking on the cell phone whilst "driving". I put "driving" in quotes because I don't see how anyone can actually drive with your shoulder propping up your cell phone with traffic whizzing all around you. The "driving" I saw on the way home today did nothing to change my mind on this.
Well, I had a thought. Everyone knows the universal sign for "f@#$ you". We also have one for "hello" and/or "goodbye". We need a universal sign for "hang up and drive". I thought of using the OTHER universal sign, but I knew the Bozos would have no idea of why I was giving them the finger.
The best I have come up with so far is ..... make a fist. Stick your thumb and little finger out to the side, making the sign that comedians use when they are indicating that they are on the phone. Honk loudly so as to interrupt the phone call, and when they look, wave your hand downward to indicate "hang up". I'm not sure this is a good signal, but it MIGHT get the idea across.
If the 1700 or so of us all start using whatever sign we decide to adopt, maybe we can start a movement and someday, our peer pressure will be enough to create a new paradigm (what ever THAT is).
