Before action: Screw two metal eye hooks into the wall just below shoulder heigh and two feet apart. Thread 6 feet of twine through the hooks. The twine is tied to Wayne and Janette’s hands.  Wayne and Janette draw together, moving in concentric circles. They pull and feed the twine back and forth to one another, keeping it taut the entire time.
