Nobody likes to be left out.

Yes, I realize there are people in this world who like to be independent and free thinking and all things liberal. I'm one of those people.

But when there's a joke and I don't get it, I'm annoyed. The only thing worse than a joke I don't get is an inside joke that doesn't include me.

Inside jokes, hand signals, secret languages -- if I'm not in, I'm not down.

And what do I do when I'm excluded? I do what every other mature adult on the planet does.

I mock.

So, allow me to begin with a hand signal on the road that I have always been excluded from: The Jeep Wave.
