Violet says to Patty, "Lucy is the nation's foremost authority on jumping ropes." Lucy says, "People are always coming to me for advice."<BR><BR> Lucy holds a jump rope and says, "To some people... insurance agents, for example... I recommend owning two jumping ropes in case they wish to entertain a client."<BR><BR> Violet says, "Could you give us some pointers on rope-jumping, Lucy?" Lucy thinks, "hmmm."<BR><BR> Lucy explains as they walk, "Well, a lot depends of course on the individual.. some got it and some haven't."<BR><BR> Lucy begins to skip rope. She says, "It's a good idea to start slowly, jumping with the wind... It's very dangerous to jump in a cross-wind." Violet says, "I suppose we should be taking notes."<BR><BR> Lucy says, "Keep your eyes straight ahead... use a regular motion until you pick up speed."<BR><BR> Lucy jumps real fast and says, "And then... give 'er the gun!"<BR><BR> Lucy stops and says, "Oh, there's one more thing I should have mentioned."<BR><BR> "Never jump in the same place for too long." Lucy stands in a hole she's stomped into the ground.<BR><BR>
