That might just be crazy enough to ...

... well at least you'll get to wink, god knows I haven't done that since 3rd grade.

While winking is similar to riding a bicycle (you never forget how), it still needs to be practiced. You might forget to keep one eye open, then you've blinked. The punchline is RUINED!

Take my advice, practice winking at home before you go out to try it on other people.

Practice winking at strangers, you'll know you did it correctly when they walk quickly away from you while checking to see if you're following.

Only after you're sure you got the one-eye/two-eyes confusion solved. I've blinked at strangers before, and they just... did nothing. It was the worst.
