PIDIDLE

THE APPEARANCE OF A CAR WITH ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT IS THE
CAUSE OF THIS GAME BETWEEN A GIRL AND A BOY ON A DATE.
IF THE GIRL SEES THE ONE-HEADLIGHT CAR FIRST AND SAYS
PIDIDLE, SHE GETS TO PUNCH HER DATE IN THE ARM. IF THE
BOY SEES AND ACKNOWLEDGES FIRST, HE IS REWARDED (SUPPOSEDLY)
BY A KISS.

Submitter comment: SOURCE REVEALED THAT IT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK THAT WAY.
