Great idea. The problem is not everyone can do the Vulcan salute. I can do it with both hands, but others can't even manage it with one hand. For example, William Shatner had to have the backs of his fingers taped to make the salute in this scene:

I ALSO can do it with BOTH hands. I ALWAYS thought they were just PRETENDING that they CAN'T.

I meant the actors (especially WS and the late DK) on the show. Just like OJ PRETENDING the glove DOESN'T fit. "Pull a little HARDER on the glove, OJ.".

More than once Shatner has demonstrated difficulty performing the Vulcan salute. At 3:10 in the video below Shatner struggles with it, and then gets visibly annoyed when Conan O'Brien rubs it in that he can do the salute and Shatner can't.

I thought he and Jackson DeForest Kelly were just ACTING (PRETENDING) that they CAN'T do it. ONLY a person with arthritic hands SHOULD have difficulty with it. What's Shatner's EXCUSE (and the others that CAN'T do it)? It's VERY-EASY to do and DO with BOTH hands!

Apparently the Vulcan salute requires a level of manual dexterity that not everyone has. I never knew there were/are people (other than arthritis sufferers) who COULDN'T or CAN'T do it. I thought they were FAKING (just like OJ and the glove) that they COULDN'T or CAN'T.

That vid was GREAT (FUNNY) but Conan FORGOT to keep his thumb separated from his fingers as well. Others also make that MISTAKE.

The Vulcan salute needs to be revived?
