  When I first got into square dancing, I thought it was like what I did
in elementary school 50 years ago. But, when all these women starting
hugging me (known as "giving yellowrocks"), I thought "What have I
gotten myself into??!!". After graduation, it was like "Next, please"!!


  Ironically, I know several "dancing hams". We'd meet at the National
Square Dance Convention (NSDC)...usually the same time as Field Day
Weekend...and we'd pick a simplex frequency...to discuss where to dance,
eat, shop, sightsee, etc. But, I was glad I had it when I went to the
1997 NSDC in Orlando. The last night of the convention, the security
guard at my hotel assaulted our shuttle bus driver, and I used ham radio
to call for help, and save his life. When told such, I replied "This is
what ham radio operators prepare for -- Emergency Communications".

K>Lol.. that was a good one, dunno why my editor cut the last of your sentence
K>off, it usually don't do that, but it got the point across..

  The joke was clean, and you didn't see the punchline coming.
