Can YOU do the Vulcan hand thing?

Question

I ask this because I simply want to know. I can do it with both hands but my right hand is a bit stiff. Also I ask this question for Voltarie who is a Treky and plays great music, we love you Voltaire, keep on rocking. Please tell me if you can do it with both hands or what.

Answer 1

Both hands.

When I was a kid, though, I couldn't do it...and I really wanted to be able to! So, to train myself, I wrapped rubber bands around my fingers to hold them in place. *laughs*

I'm lucky I didn't lose circulation in my fingers. But, as a result, I can give the Vulcan salute with both hands.

As an interesting aside, William Shatner (Captain Kirk) was never able to do the Vulcan salute. Remember the scene in Star Trek III when Kirk does the salute and asks Bones how many fingers he's holding up? Shatner had fishing line tied around his fingers to hold them in place.
