The Two Digit Salute

A gesture interchangeably used as a greeting, a goodbye, or more commonly as a visual exclamation point at the end of a sentence. Also makes a great ice breaker in awkward moments.

Using your dominate hand, extend your hand palm up at about waist level opposite your target(s). Using the appropriate amount of sarcasm, open your hand and go through the motion of gently tapping the bottom of their balls a few times while making a clicking sound with your tongue and the roof of your mouth. It looses a sense of dignity if any actual contact is made. Doing this at close range (2 to 3 feet away) is very effective and a great ice breaker.

In almost one motion, he smiled, pointed at the clock, gave us all the two digit salute, and walked away leaving us briefly stunned.
