This was the funniest thing you've ever said, Jim ... until I read further and realized you weren't making a pun.

Now it's the stupidest thing you've ever said, and that surpasses some pretty absurd things.

"Come up with a good dead ball signal" does not mean "invent a good dead ball signal". Good grief. It means STAND up and give a very visible Dead Ball Signal ... which all of us use, and most your players know what it looks like.
