DANG!
DANG!
well this harkens back to the syrian proclamation against YO YOs .
the syrians were convenced that YOYOs were responsible for thier drough back many decades ago.
the “rationale” was that as the direction followed by the YOYO was DOWN...and then UP...that this caught the rain and didnt allow it to fall.
Drought and severe cold is disast-
rously affecting the cattle in Syria,
and the Moslem chiefs at Damascus
have attributed the wrath of the
heavens to the recent introduction of
the yo-yo.
They say that while the people are
praying for rain to come down from
above the yo-yo goes down, and
before reaching the ground springs
up through the subtle pull of the
string.
