It was mighty hilarious to watch someone's face the first time they did it. I was never stupid enough to try it, but they managed to convince quite a few people that it felt funny in a nice way. However, their faces made it quite clear that there was nothing nice about that burn.

One of the only things I ever won as a child was a Halloween costume contest in 1973. There was a boy winner and a girl winner. I was a clown and she was Raggety Ann. First prizes were a set of Cowboy Guns with belt and holdsters and a baby doll. I was so proud.
