I'm sorry, but this reminded me of a scene from the film 'Dances with
Wolves'. You may recall when he met the man who sent him to his post out
west... the guy folded his orders up into a tiny ball then gave a wierd
salute. And a few minutes later he was standing at the window saying "The
King is dead; long live the king" before blowing his brains out. Totally
whacked. John kept doing that funny salute when I said something nutso. He
cracks me up. We still can't figure out why Costner put that scene in the
movie.
