I was working in an office just south of downtown in Chicago repairing a computer years ago. I had my company car that had the company logo all over parked on the street 20 floors down. The cars winshield washers quit so carried a squirt gun pistol around for a while but it really didn't help much. I had it on the front seat (it was out of ammo) with a lot of other junk. Some goof walked by and saw the gun and called the police who in turn called my company. They got in touch with me and I met about 5 cops around my car down stairs. I showed the gun to the cops, and we all had a laugh. I held the gun up high in my right hand and signaled to all in the surrounding buildings with my left hand middle finger extended. Who ever it was that called the police did indeed see my gesture. They called my company and they called me.
) But then again,if it is? ill bet they dont know the Italian or German version of that salute I got to use the Amerian version of the one-finger salute--toan Italian guy who was in Germany who was speeding and almost hit Susanne while she was crossing the street. He blew his weak horn, stopped the tiny red car,turned around and looked at me while I gave him said salute. Lucky for me no Polizei were around--since its illegal to use that salute in Germany--or so I was told.
