Coke

Another game of Punch back
And this is not a joke 
Whenever you say the same thing... 
At the same time as another 
We would have to shout out...COKE!  



When I was younger we always did this when we were kids. Usually we would shout out Coke and then punch the other person in the arm. 
Maureen McGreavy brought back this memory to me with her poem...
Titled "Punch Buggy" Check it out.. It'll bring back some more memories to those who know and have played that game as well. Thanks Mo xocm

Hi Charles, Never played this. I just loved playing anything. Glad to be born before the electronic age And even better, prior to PC madness. I loved my cap gun. You betcla? Panagiota

Always nice to relive memories, even if they may "hurt" a little! ;) Thanks for the explanation as well. I'll go visit Maureen's poem.

oh i remember something like this, my friend from Alabama would do with her family. They yelled out some word. It was related to cars but I can't think what it is right now!!

I played that game, but under a different name, Charles, and using different words. Eventually it's the punch that counts....and very often it was no joke!
