Hahahahahaha. That is so funny.

Love that pause before the "pull my finger" line. Perfect timing.

Happy birthday to you
Now that you're 32
Enjoy your cake and jelly
And your clapperboard too.

I believe it's a custom originating in the United States, that when one party is about to emit a bottom cough, it is traditional to ask a second party to tug firmly upon the finger of the first party. The first party can then pretend that the digit-pulling was responsible for the unsociable emission, rather than, as is often the case, the eating of too many 'chilli dogs'.

JATBC: both entertaining and informative. Unless I'm wrong about 'pulling my finger' in which case I'm sure Matt will let me know.
