RIP Larry LaPrise

[birdy961]

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week.

Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote 'The Hokie Pokey' died peacefully at the age of 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.























They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

Shut up. You know it's funny.

Heard it so many times before, and it doesn't raise a titter....although it does raise a smile.

However, your last line made the joke for me and made me

When I first heard that I cryed with laighter. It is a great joke!

Didn't realise you were American. In England we call it the Hokey Cokey.
