Here's an unfortunately true story: I almost died because of the Hokey Pokey.

I was in kindergarten playing the Hokey Pokey, when I got really in to it.
So, in to it, in fact, I ended up smashing my face on the table.
A week goes by, and I start getting ill and my teeth turn brown.
Apparently, I had cracked the root of my tooth and developed a massive infection that could have easily spread and kill me.

From then on, I have refused to do the Hokey Pokey.
