I don't know why Folk Dancing (esp. Morris) is always considered so funny. I once snapped my Achilles Tendon at a barn dance and as they were wheeling me into the operating theatre (in a hazy pre-med-ed state) I remember the surgeon and crew looking at my notes and splitting their sides with laughter. Even the composer Arnold Bax (not Beecham who often gets the credit) said "Try anything in life except incest and folk dancing". What had he got against the dancing and even more importantly, his own family ?
