The Rise of The British Umpire

The ashes is currently hot stuff in the sporting world, and talk of cricket gave me an idea: introducing cricket umpiring signals as replacements for social greetings and communications. This would be specifically useful if applied world-wide.

The side-to-side sweep signal for four runs could be used for 'hello'; the raised finger out signal for 'goodbye'; the leg-bye signal for 'I'm going to the toilet'; the wide signal for 'I don't want any pudding thanks'.

I'm still thinking about what the six signal could be for? If you have any ideas, usual channels please.
