WHAT IF

[oldguyinTX]

The hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

[Peter Aawen]

Then you put your Right Foot in.... You take your Right Foot out.... etc etc


Why do you ask? It's all there, spelled out pretty clearly!

[oldguyinTX]

Inquiring minds want to know.

[ThreeWheels]

Did you hear that Robert Johnson, the man who invented the hokey pokey died earlier this year.
It took them 3 days to bury the body.
They put the left foot, they took the left foot out.......................................

[Peter Aawen]

......... It took them 3 days to bury the body.

I betcha dirt went everywhere whenever they got to the 'shake it all about' bit too!!

[RinconRyder]

Then you put your Right Foot in.... You take your Right Foot out.... etc etc

In OZ, do you swap the foot sequence?

[Peter Aawen]

Nah, the Left foot is just another verse!!

But we do start with the Right Foot, then Left Foot, Right Hand, Left Hand, then end up with our Whole Self! And there's a WHOLE LOT of 'shakin it all about' that goes all the way thru!!

[oldguyinTX]

This is the kind of thread that I enjoy. Friendly banter about something dopey. I'm enjoying laughing.

Like Peter said - but of course we spin the other way round
... just like the water goes down the bathtub the other direction in our hemisphere.

Very hard to remember which foot is going where, while spinning the other way around !

[Grandpot]

This is definitely one of our more interesting threads.

Someone has just got to post a video of a Southern Hemisphere toilet getting flushed...

[Peter Aawen]

Toilets won't show you much, Bob; our toilets have a much narrower (& deeper) pan & 'S' bend (cos putting it bluntly, even the worst of us Aussies can aim a helluva lot better than the average Yank! Even when shooting out our a..... ) So you don't see anywhere near as much of the water swirl in a toilet flush!! If you want to see water spinning down the drain, you'll probably need to see a bathtub emptying!

Didja know we have Horizontal Waterfalls down here too? As well as Drop Bears & Hoop Snakes!

[bscrive]

What I would like to know is, if you have a toilet on the equator...what happens when you flush it??? It wouldn't swirl clockwise, or counter clock wise. Does the water just implode????

[Bob Denman]

You probably have to flip a coin to decide how it empties!

[Grandpot]

Now I'm going to be awake all night trying to figure this out!

[Bob Denman]

Perhaps when you stand up, and hit the lever: the bowl is spun mechanically, and the "contents" drop straight down!

Deep, very deep...

[oldguyinTX]

You asked for it, here it is.

Southern Hemisphere:



Northern Hemisphere:



Amazing how much time we spend looking up stupid s**t on the internet ain't it.

And what does this have to do with the Hokey Pokey?

[Peter Aawen]

If that flush vid is meant to be taken in Australia, I reckon that 'Southern Hemisphere' flush version has been faked on a Northern Hemisphere Dunny Bowl!!

Unless someone has REALLY gone outta their way to buy & install a US type toilet bowl here anyway - we just don't have toilet bowls like that or even have them available to purchase, let alone install!

Ours look like this:

And they flush like this:

1526091767306830519312.jpg

So the 'swirl' is not anywhere near like the swirl you lot see in the Northern Hemisphere...... aaand


















.... you put the toilet brush in
and you shake it all about
You do the Hokey Pokey
And you turn the handle round & round
THAT's what it's all about!

[Bob Denman]

. NOW we're getting to the bottom of things!!

[Peter Aawen]

No Bob, those pics were taken looking DOWN from the dunny seat, not UP! No bottoms involved....

But I betcha if they were taken looking up instead, it'd give you a ****ty outlook on life pdq!

Would that bowl happen to be made by Caroma? It sure looks a lot like ours way up here in Canada. Ours is made by them and we know it is Australian.
