Recursion In Fun Places:

Depending on how you count, every fifth or sixth step of the Hokey Pokey is to “do the Hokey Pokey”.

This means we’ve all been doing the Hokey Pokey wrong.  When you get to the first “do the Hokey Pokey” step, it seems as though the correct thing to is do is to follow instructions and put your right foot in all over again.  Because of this: 1) once you start the “Hokey Pokey” it never ends, and 2) you never even get to turn yourself around, let alone move any body parts other than your right foot.
