Hello! This is Toby Jones, (still) unemployed filmmaker and cartoonist. Well I was almost a vacuum cleaner salesman, but I'll get to that another day. This particular post is about an amazing, indispensable trick for entering a highway I've learned (created?). I call it "The Pre-Emptive Thank You Wave".

We all know that once someone gives you space to enter a highway, you return the favor with a Thank You Wave. But what about when the road is filled with jerks, none of whom are willing to let you in? This is where the "Pre-Emptive Thank You Wave" comes in. You simply wave as though someone DID slow down for you, and the person who sees it will be put in the position that they feel required to.
A helpful tool for big-city driving indeed. To play us out, here is United States President of the United States "Barack Obama" doing a Thank You Wave. Thank You, Barack Obama, for your service to our great nation!
