Clap Clap

If you've ever been to a taping of a TV show, you'll be familiar with the warm up guy. He's the energetic dude that is supposed to make you laugh and feel comfortable, and train you in the art of being happy at the right moments. I think they're usually failed standup comedians/traffic conductors. It's actually a lot of work being in the audience...there's like 10 different types of audience response. The warm up dude has all these hand signals, for instance two fingers means laugh hard, fist pump means wild applause, and arm waving means cheer loudly. So pretty much the same instructions I dish out in the bedroom.

Anyway, long before warm up guys, the big tv shows used to have those applause signs to let you know when to clap. Press a button, and whoever is around knows what to do. Eg :

Wouldn't life be much easier if you had such signs around?
Ah, work would be a breeze if only I had these two.
