Devised by Corerentin Lefevre. This dance is dedicated to all the stooges who give of their time and patience for the teaching certificate, an important part of Scottish Country Dancing. It was devised on the occasion of the Unit 3 exam organised by the Lyon Branch in February 2016. The surprising phrasing illustrates the fact that stooges have to do what the teacher says, even when it is not the most logical thing to do.
