Yes. The sign for ICE CREAM in ASL has the palm facing parallel to  
the wall...if you straighten your hand up to a flat hand, the flat  
hand is parallel to the wall and then you bend the fist so that it is  
still parallel to the wall....it is a standardized sign that does not  
mimic holding a cone...it is just signed that way all over the US...;-))
