Once upon a time, there was a bridge between an American held territory and a Polish Country. An American soldier was assigned to walk and guard the bridge, so did the Polish. The American soldier was given strict orders not to talk with the Polish soldier as they met at the center of the bridge on each patrol.
The American became bored, so obeying orders not to talk; he decided sign language was OK. On the next pass, he gestured by putting both hands above his head and moving his fingers as he brought his hands down (asking of course, are you in the paratroops?).
The Polish soldier frowned and passed on by.
The next pass the American took his right hand two fingers and walked them down his left arm (you must be in the ground troops?).
The Polish soldier frowned again.
The next pass the American took his left hand and made a circle with his index finger and thumb, and inserted his right index finger through the circle (you must be in artillery?).
The Polish soldier threw down his rifle and ran off the bridge!!
The American's CO called the American soldier in and asked, "What in the hell did you say to that Polish soldier?"
