ROUTINES

Do you have a routine? This question is not as simple as it might seem to those who think that routines are boring and sometimes completely useless. Recently, I have been watching a number of movies, those of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby(ON THE ROADS) and ABBOTT & COSTELLO, and you can add the Bowery Boys( DEADEND KIDS ,EAST SIDE KIDS,ETC.) and Laurel & Hardy,etc. all comedy teams to be sure, coming out of vaudeville in some instances. Routines are interesting and martial artists can learn a lot from watching such,rather than just watching for the sake of mere entertainment. All performers,whether circus, carnival, acrobatic, gymnastic, tournament attendees/participants,etc. as well as con-men, pick-pockets, magicians,etc. all have ROUTINES. NOW WHAT IS YOUR ROUTINE?
