HORSEBITE
A GOOD WAY TO GET BACK AT AN ENEMY OR TO FOOL
AROUND WITH A FRIEND, IS TO ASK HIM IF HE'S SEEN YOUR
HORSEBITE. WHEN HE SAYS NO, POINT TO THE BACK OF
ONE SHOULDER AND WHEN HE IS LOOKING AND POSITIONED
BEHIND YOU, YOU GRAB HIM BY THE LEG WITH YOUR HAND
AND SAY, "NOW, YOU'VE SEEN MY HORSE BITE!"
