Traditionally such images inspire a burst of frenzied dancing involving legs in and legs out. In the late 19th century when soda bottles were replaced by cans in France the dance was renamed the can-can and popularised by Toulouse Lautrec, who took his frenzy to such extremes that he wore his legs to a stump. Cheers, Bob-san. >From: "Matt Morgan" <mattmorgan@pdseurope.co.uk> > >This all reminds me of the Okie-Cokie, which is something else no-one >understands. >Matt (put your left foot in, left foot out....)
