Think about this - you walk into a room and lift up your hand, palm-up, to all in view. You then begin to make small circular motions with your cupped hand and the crowd applauds.
That's what the Pope does. So why should he alone have access to a personal gesture that is identifiable and fun? He shouldn't. I propose that we all create and trademark our own personal gesture. It may or may not involve the hands. Think of it as your personalized Touchdown dance for anytime you choose.
I know of several already. For instance, I can regularly be seen standing, leaning slightly over with my knee cocked out, dangling one arm and letting the other hang still. This is a stance that many recognize. As of today consider it trademarked and called "the Swain".
I know that several people will emulate my great gesture and that's Ok - it's all part of the fun! So what will yours be?
