KID TRICK

TO DO THIS TRICK YOU GO UP TO ANOTHER KID AND SAY
SOMETHING LIKE "WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR SHIRT AND YOU
POINT TO A PLACE ON THE SHIRT THAT IS JUST UNDER THEIR
CHIN, WHEN THEY LOOK DOWN YOU RAISE YOUR FINGER SO
THAT IT BRUSHES THEIR NOSE. AND THEN YOU SAY, "MADE YOU
LOOK YOU DIRTY CROOK; YOU STOLE YOUR MOTHER'S POCKETBOOK"
AND THAT ENDS THE TRICK.

Submitter comment: THIS TRICK IS BEST PLAYED ON SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT
KNOW IT.
