BTW - there is an edit button so us lower intellects don't think you have a Keep and expect me to adhere to your demands.

Keep= A keep is a type of fortified tower built within castles during the Middle Ages by European nobility.
I thought "Keep" described all of the parts and stuff I have in my shop, as opposed to my wife's definition of "trash".

Sort of like "You keep your stuff in the garage and I'll keep my stuff in the house", quote from my wife.

What about those prima-donnas that do a half-hearted wave? I just want to flip them off … but I don’t 😁
The asphalt princesses - that's what I call them.

As a new jeep owner, I didn't know about the jeep wave. Was a bit confused at all the peace signs being given to me. So until this thread and looking up what a jeep wave was I've just been awkwardly given "jeep waves" back for the past 7 months.

The "Jeep Wave" as I've posted before, I wave most of the time.... to about everyone, particularly it is a quick assessment if people are paying attention to driving and their surroundings. Not just that us "Jeeper's" are or should be more in tune do to lack of doors or top and that the other dipsticks will end up on top or right over us in a crash. I did have some really nasty photos from vehicle crashes, including a street rocket motorcycle that was traveling well over 100 mph that T-boned a car in intersection. The rider became a high speed projectile going through the drivers window and out the passengers window killing both in the car too. So I find looking for and to wave as a way to stay more attentive to driving and staying safer. 🤔

I have found that the only time I get a wave is if their jeep looks better than mine. Which by the way is most of the time. Funny lot here in Missouri.

If you are talking about this one. There is a few others too. They have been staged at a schools in the UK for driving training. It was debuted a few years ago.

So what is the rule on how many ignored waves happen before you throw a duck at them?

🤔 ..........invent a gun that throws ducks. What size ducks? What is the weight of said duck? At what velocity, impact energy, and recoil ? 🤔 Air powered, black powder, or smokeless? 🤔

My wife is cool. She doesn’t object to me allowing mermaids to pass in front of me and waving while on the beach after all safety first.

Given the weight of the typical duck, a smaller bore using a higher muzzle velocity will be best at longer ranges, such as on four lane roads. For two lane roads, a big bore will work well.

Those ducks would be hot once they got there.
I recall a demo in science class where the teacher shot an aluminum ring into the ceiling and a demo on induction, magnetism and so on. That ring what hot when it came down.
Maybe a duck, not being ring shaped, wouldn't do that, though, as that ring actually built up a nice electric current in it at the same time it was shot up.
