Everytime someone gives me a gap in traffic, I boldly salute them with the Mr. Spock live-long-and-prosper Vulcan salute. This salute has been adopted by Trekkies (StarTrek freakazoid super fan nerds) all over the world. I also give the salute when I give someone else a gap by acknowledging their wave/flicker of thanks.
No one ever gave me the salute back yet. Once a guy smiled wryly.
Come on Jozi – as you travel at WARP speed 0,000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001, cursing SANRAL and the nerd with the thick black framed glasses needs a gap, give way, return his salute, have a chuckle for even serious, calculating super-rational Vulcans from space are supporting Lead SA.

Hey! I see you don't like lurkers so I'm commenting.
Live long and prosper.
You don't really equate South Africa with Mordor, do you? Rohan with Wormtongue around, maybe.
Hi Lesley - No! Much of South Africa is beautiful like Middle Earth, I live in the Vaal Triangle However - With all the heavy industries, it is a bit Mordor-esque
Oh I would SO salute you back!!
It is a very cool salute. I would keep on using it.
slowly nerds and geeks will take over the world, just keep saluting!
