M. That sounds about right. P small part of this rituel exests today. In the yacht club I used to belong to, they had a ritual round disk in the noise maker. When a small coin of the relm was inserted, the box would whail about "put in your little foot, and shake it all about" Not having a little foot, I was prevented from performing this ritual. I tried using the club cat, (whom has very danty little feet.) But I was hissed out of the circle.Dejected from such catty treatment, I would slink into the quaffable room and have a round or two. After a couple of hours, some glassy eyed small footed Hoky Pokyers would come in for quafables. After a few of those they became more glassy eyed, and their small feet became clumsy.
I know that the Hoky Pokey is a hunting ritual. Fortunitly the only heads taken here were on moosehead beer. One hoky poker tried to mount the beer head on the wall. (Didn't look at all like a moose.) We all stood around and admired the head for a while. Something must have gone wrong, (defective beer head?) Because it was gone by the next morning.
With feet too big to Hoky Poky, -Fadac. :(
