Me Too! And I Think It Could Have Signalling Uses ...

I have always wanted to learn ASL
I learned the hand-alphabet as a child.

Later I decided there was a need to express myself to other drivers--whether they could understand or not. So I learned "thank you" "I'm sorry" and "what a pig!" Nothing ruder than that. There's enough misery in the world. Besides the one who sees you signing "pig" knows you are calling him something, but has no idea what. It's fun, and you can't stay mad afterward. Occasionally I see someone else cracking up.

The only other one I've learned was after seeing a news item where 2 guys rescued a kidnapped girl from her kidnapper's vehicle because one of them realized she was frantically signing "help me!" as they were going down the freeway. Seemed like a good one to learn.
