THERE ARE TWO TEAMS OF GIRLS WHO LINE UP FACING EACH OTHER. ONE
TEAM SKIPS TOWARD THE OTHER SAYING:
"BUM, BUM, BUM,
HERE WE COME."
THE OTHER TEAM ASKS:
"WHERE YOU FROM?"
ANSWER: "PRETTY GIRL STATION."
QUESTION: "WHAT'S YOUR OCCUPATION?"
ANSWER: "ANYTHING OLD THING."
THIS SIDE PANTOMIMES AN OCCUPATION, WHICH THE OTHER SIDE GUESSES.
THEN THEY REVERSE SIDES.
