pretty sure saluting would just make it worse. i have never seen a non military non law enforcement person salute anyone or anything ;o especially not to end a argument xD

i have a similar story. i was at a birthday party with my friends a few years ago... my marm was there and i was feeling ill. and i was standing right by the cake that was home made and my marm was trying to give me some stomach settling stuff that usually never worked.. and the marm that made the cake had to hear me say.. but its going to make me sick it tastes gross.

and i felt uber bad becuase i swear she thought i was talking about her cake.. it was good though. nummers cake.
