My family, probably like many others, like to flash the V.
Points are scored for flashing Vs in photographs and on formal occasions. When a family member is asleep, it is good form to shake them urgently until they open their eyes, to see the V displayed at face level.

I am currently ahead in the the V-flashing competition after a display at a family funeral.

Arriving at the church in the main car (for this was a close and dearly beloved family member of mine) I spotted my eldest sister standing nearby, in helpless tears of grief.

I attracted her attention and flashed the V.
She stared, wide-eyed, and then turned away, scandalised and giggling.

It's what he would have wanted.

"I am currently ahead in the the V-flashing competition after a display at a family funeral."
I'm so glad that wasn't followed by "Having an open coffin at the funeral, was, on balance, unwise."

Could have been
so much worse.

Or better, depending on your point of view.

In my family
we display the "OK" sign to make each other groan and giggle.
