Update On The 16-second Gravel Dance

I have been trying to determine, with geometric logic and sound empirical observation, whether it takes longer to rid my body of this virus than it does getting a fart out of a boiler suit. This is an enigma that occupied me and other gardeners when we were holed up in garages overhauling machines --back before I retired. We found stepping outside and dancing for 16 seconds in gravel would accomplish olfactory miracles, but would it work on the flu?

Five years ago I performed and posted  the therapeutic 16-second gravel dance and got 180 views in a single year. I hoped it would become famous and I would be lauded as a great healer and deodorizer. 180 views seemed to me to be a promising start. Now, four years later, it has gathered 73 more views and has doubtless done humanity a world of good. Observe:

 

As the astute observer may attest, I don't have a boiler suit on in this clip, so the purpose of the dance is purely medicinal. If I can shake viruses out with these contortions and convolutions, I shall consider the effort worthwhile and the dancing sick of the world will be improved. This is a certainty. I have been studying this method for many years, have been around a long time and know lots of authorities so knowledgeable they don't even exist yet.

So there. Stay well.

  1. If dancing the Tarantella can drive out the toxins from the bite of a poisonous spider, I would imagine that the 16-second Gravel Dance could extract a virus.

    At the very least, it will undoubtedly scare the spiders away.

  2. Dancing is magical. I don't know what that was but dancing? Magical.

    1. My dancing is like impressionist painting; you have to stand very far back to appreciate its full beauty --also safer.

  4. This could catch on. I'll have to wait till the two feet of snow melts to try it, but it certainly looks like something that could keep the buzzards away.

    1. Dance hasn't been tested on buzzards yet --but it could work.

    1. Okey dokey, but you must feel better too. That's still the deal.

  8. Sorry you are sick, Geo. Hope you are feeling better. I think I confused this dance with the, "there's a bee in immediate vicinity and I haven't been stung in quite some time what if I've developed an allergy" dance. I guess that explains why I always felt so great after the bee went away. I credited the wine but now see the truth.

  11. I smiled and smiled, but when Norma said "You can stop now," I did a loud laugh that scared my dog. I hope you feel better soon! The flu takes ages. and ages. and ages for the body to clear. Stoopid virus.

    1. Thank you, Stephanie. Frightening dogs is a secondary effect of my dance that hasn't been fully researched. I welcome the info and your good wishes.

  12. Yes, you can stop now is a phrase I have been told many times.

    1. I rely on Norma to tell me when to stop all sorts of things. It's important!

  13. Well, of course, she had to tell you when to stop. Otherwise, you would've keep hopping 'til you dropped. And that would have totally screwed up the results of your experiment, dude.

  14. Yes, the government of Norma is kindly and benevolent. I dance. I obey and do not drop, not yet anyway.
