Lovely video. That dancing style reminds me of the silly story of the man who had a duck which danced to Irish music, kicking its legs furiously, on top of a flowerpot. Everyone thought it was wonderful and eventually the landlord of the local pub made an offer so the dancing duck act could amuse his customers during sessions. The following day, the former owner of the dancing duck walked in to the pub, and the landlord told him he wanted his money back. "What's wrong?" asked the man. "That duck won't dance", replied the landlord, "and I tried all sorts of music. It just wasn't interested." "Well," said the man, "did you light the candle under the flowerpot?"

That was funny, but I wonder why the little girl was crying. Ma was ticked off over something. She was mad at big sister too.

Wasn't it obvious? She had to pee. I didn't get the big sister thing, though.

I have seen this one b4... but it brings a smile to my face every time!
I've always thought they just did it to keep warm... but obviously it's for sooo many other reasons!

Hey, deFacto, as I'm from the Isles, I can only talk about the English from what I've observed in the 44 years since I came here.
