I "think" this is appropriate and I am trying to be:
Coming home from an international martial arts competition, we (our team) were just getting off the plane when an "older" gentleman in a wheelchair (procedure to let him off first yet him and his escorts were still waiting just off the plane) tugged on my martial arts jacket (instructor made us wear them and any medals the whole way home).
He didn't look to well on that day but managed to ask "Are you some kinda team or something"
Some old guys are just interested in talking to the youngins about random stuff, plus we were still beaming from the trip and feeling like rock stars.
All cocky and proud I said "Oh ya team (my country) martial arts!" and pointed to my jacket which in hind sight he'd obviously just read.
"Cool...did you win!?"
"YUP!" (coach told us all to say this regardless)
He just smiled and I turned away wondering when the next person would call me aside to inquire about our "accomplishments"
I guess I kinda thought I'd made an impression on him or brightened his day some.
My instructor came running up behind me frantically and grabbed my on the shoulder "Do you know who that is!!!"
I kinda gave him a "pfft" look.
