I prefer to signal three balls using a closed "okay" signal {pinky, ring and middle fingers up} over the FED "boy scouts" signal {ring, middle and index fingers up}. But I never really understood why the hand signal for three balls, two strikes was preferred over the hand signal for a full count. No one signals the count before the first pitch. Something to do with high handlebars or it means something ugly in a foreign country. I guess that confused or startled some of the participants.

Dear Mr. Umpire:

Please do not wait up for me. I'm running late tonight.

Signed,

Does that count as the humor?

No. Humor should be somewhat funny.
