A Lesson in Pulling Taffy

By: Steve Ridley

Teacher: “Overlap your forearms so that they nearly touch, and draw them past each other, keeping elbows close to your sides, as you simultaneously shift your weight.”

Student: “But we only have two arms!”

Teacher: “Oh? Then do the best you can.”

(This recently occurred in one of my public classes.)
