It's what BECAN lives in before it becomes BECAN.

Yeah, that. It was a guy though. A younger friend. Happily married to a lovely lady. Shouldn't it be called "manly jab in the shoulder", or "backhand to the chest, with a "way to go, dude" ", or something like that, when it's man to man?

Yeah, anything lower than a slap on the back should require an invitation.

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_in_a_poke "The idioms pig in a poke and sell a pup (or buy a pup) refer to a confidence trick originating in the Late Middle Ages, when meat was scarce, but cats and dogs (puppies) were not.[1][2][3] The idiom pig in a poke can also simply refer to someone buying a low-quality pig in a bag because he or she did not carefully check what was in the bag.[4] The scheme entailed the sale of a suckling pig or pup in a poke (bag). The bag would actually contain a cat or dog (not particularly prized as a source of meat), which was sold to the victim in an unopened bag. The French idiom acheter (un) chat en poche (to buy a cat in a bag) refers to an actual sale of this nature, as do many European equivalents, while the English expression refers to the appearance of the trick.[5] The common English colloquial expressions such as turn out to be a pig in a poke or buy a pig in a poke mean that something is sold or bought without the buyer knowing its true nature or value, especially when buying without inspecting the item beforehand. The phrase can also be applied to accepting an idea or plan without a full understanding of its basis. Similar expressions exist in other European languages, most of them referring to the purchase of a cat in a bag, with some exceptions"

It is slightly bigger than a Poke Three and slightly smaller than a Poke Five.

Yeah but it was a man to man poke, not that there's any thing wrong with that... I'm just saying that most people will probably still enjoy having other folks hold off on the suggestion until they are invited to make such suggestions. I'm just glad to think Mr Norman wasn't in the middle of a loop in a F16 when the text came in.
