"PURDIDDLE"

THIS GAME IS ALMOST ALWAYS PLAYED WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE
OBJECT OF THE GAME IS TO FIND CARS WITH ONE HEADLIGHT
INOPERABLE. WHENEVER ONE OF THE PLAYERS NOTICES A CAR WITH
ONE HEADLIGHT OUT, HE OR SHE SAYS "PURDIDDLE" AND POINTS TO THE CAR.
IF A BOY SAYS PURDIDDLE THEN ALL THE BOYS IN THE CAR OWE HIM A
BEER AND ALL THE GIRLS OWE HIM A KISS. IF A GIRL SAYS PURDIDDLE,
THEN ALL THE BOYS IN THE CAR OWE HER A KISS AND ALL THE GIRLS OWE
HER A BEER OR A MIXED DRINK (WHICHEVER SHE PREFERS).
