Al Tabor, the inventor of the Hokey Pokey, died in 1983, and the graveside service was really touching. They put his right foot in, the took his right foot out, they put his right foot in…..
“Six thousand years of recorded history, a history that includes remarkable composers, astonishing symphonies, but what is the one song that half of them sing to their children generation after generation?
You put your right hand in; you put your right hand out.You put your whole self in and you turn yourself about.You do the hokey-pokey; you give a little shout.That’s…what it’s all about.
It doesn’t mean anything. I have been studying it for seven days. I had the computer analyze it. I swear to you: it does not mean A THING!”

I hope the manual isn’t a Larry Niven book. “There’s something here called ‘rishathra’…”

Do not question the all-aboutness of the hokey-pokey.

It could be worse. Brewster could’ve picked up “How to Serve Man.”

The first thing that they should ask any new species they encounter is if they like the taste of human spleen. You know that’s where it will lead.

If nobody will do it for you, you just have to hokey your own pokey.
