BB: SHUT UP SHUT UP. NORMAL PEOPLE CAN'T DO IT. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.


Way back in the day of first-time syndication of ST (I missed it when it was NEW), I read that the ability to Vulcan salute is pretty much genetic. It's either easy, or you have to pry your fingers apart with your other hand.

I'd be doubtful, except that my physiology teacher had a whole list of genetic physical quirks - such as the ability to roll (make like a hot-dog) one's tongue. My entire family - father, mother, four siblings - can do it. For me, it's totally impossible.
