At the edge of the alleyway is a lone street light.

Under the light is a manhole ...

A businessman walking past notices a hippy looking dude atop the manhole, the man - a laid back - real cool looking cat - was rocking the manhole cover back and forth singing and seemingly having a good time.

The businessman is curious and goes down the ally to investigate.

As the man gets closer he hears the hippy singing loudly:

"Forty-four ... Forty-four" The businessman, questions the hippy:
"Excuse me, good sir ... You seem to be having a good time; might I ask what you are doing there on that manhole?"

The hippy slides his sunglasses down without missing a beat to his swaying motion atop the manhole replies with a smirk: "44 ... It's the latest thing ... 44" The hippy Continues: "Everyones doing it ... 44 ... 44 ... 44"

The hippy continues to rock the manhole cover with a style & grace making the nerdy businessman wonder more about the fun he was surely missing out on.

So the businessman after careful thought speaks up: "That sure does look fun, could I have a go of it next?"

The hippy gives a half shrug and nods coolly and said: "44 ... happy to show you how my friend ... 44 ... 44 ... it's qui--"The businessman interrupts the hippy in mid-sentence, "NO NEED - I'VE FIGURED IT ALL OUT!" assured if that "hippy" can do it -- a man of his education and stature could easily do it -- do it better, even!

So the businessman quickly gets on the manhole cover, and kicks his heels back to each edge ... and yells out "forty-four" then starts to get the disk to a wobble, when the hippy states: "Um hey dude ... you should tri--"The businessman interrupts again:"I KNOW! I can do it ... forty-four ... forty-four ... forteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee --"

*SPLASH!*

AS THE MANHOLE COVER FLIPS AND HE FALLS INSIDE THE MANHOLE!

The hippy, unfazed walks over to the manhole; kicks his heels back ... rocks his hips as the disk rocks to and fro ...

and sings

"Forty - FIVE ... FORTY-FIVE ..."
