Mo’s friend, Maureen
in Kentucky, called the other day and challenged Mo to do something.
Maureen instructed Mo to stand up and move his right hind foot in a

Maureen then said,
“Mo, now you take your right hand and draw an invisible “6” in the air
without your right foot changing directions.”
Try it. You can’t do
it. You can’t.
