Give Peace A Chance


A couple of days after the invasion of Iraq began I was driving down Western Ave. and let a car get in front of me. Instead of the courtesy wave he flashed me a peace sign. It was such a neat thing to do, I have stolen it and made it my own.

I am not as cool as that driver (as evidenced by my use of the word neat) - sometimes I end up giving people a sign that looks like number 2 and I am sure some think I am giving them the finger. Today a car I let get in front of me, pulled over and thanked me for the Peace sign and she said she was going to start doing it too.

Peace,

Wow! I tried using the peace sign and people are so much nicer to you when you flash the peace than when you shake your fist. ;) I'm converted. Peace & Love.

I would use the peace sign, think i'll try it next time. But to avoid the carnage, it try to keep both hands on the wheel.

Peter, I think you may have started something. I too find myself to be a 'peace sign thanker' after reading your post.
Good idea, I hope it catches on!

Vice,

Thanks for the comment. I don't think we can ever have too much peace.

I have been doing it for years, and you are right, sometimes people in a glance think that you are flipping them off!!! Funny... I love Chi town, Navy Pier and well, the entire place is great!
