WHILE driving my 18-wheeler out west, I came to a two-lane, steep graded twisting pass where truck speeds were reduced to as low as 25 kilometers an hour.
Just as I was beginning the climb, I noticed a car behind me.
The coast was clear, so I flagged the driver on ahead. As the car passed me, the passenger, a woman, held up a sign that read THANKS, and then another that said HAVE A NICE DAY.
Sometime later I met up with the same couple at a truck stop. I mentioned to the woman how much I had appreciated her "sign language," and suggested it was too bad she wasn't able to use her signs on every driver.
"Oh, she can," her husband assured me. "She has another one that says YOU BUM.
