Yes, that is the way the fist looks from the signers perspective. :-)

Hello Stefan and Adam -
Put the blame on me that I did not explain myself correctly, Stefan.  
I was writing too fast and Adam was correct...

I believe this is how the fist looks when signing this sign...is this  
correct, Adam?




For me, I think of the fist representing the ice cream itself sitting  
in the cone, rather than the fist holding the cone....  smile

Val ;-)
