ASL, American Sign Language, depicted here by JK Keller with book matches.

This was an art project, rather than a teaching aid, by a man with time, and 24 other letters, on his hands. ;)

Very nice.

But looks like you can't do the sign for 'fire' with a matchbook...oh the irony.
xoxoxoBruce • Mar 21, 2010 1:46 am
I believe its just the alphabet, isn't it?
bluecuracao • Mar 21, 2010 2:05 am
Well, the video I saw on the interwebs shows it as a hand-waving type thing.

Yes, but what he did with the matchbooks is just the alphabet, there's much more to ASL.

I remember a trick one could do with Pep Boys matchbooks. NSFW, though.

That last one I think is the hand sign for "Get out of the road"
