I'm like, "Whoa, where did you pull that out of?" Like, I know you know a bunch of random, but I didn't know you knew how to sign language, too. And he had told him like to have a nice day in sign language.

"So, it blew my mouth hanging open and and then he the gentleman, his name is Ricky. The gentleman to my left is like watching my reaction and starts to die laughing at the whole thing.
