well, the chart I'm looking at shows an inverted Dilly Bar. But since you asked, instead of just throwing out the turkey that was delivered the day after thanksgiving, I thought I should make use of it. So, I removed the ball from the tether-ball setup in the front yard, and attached the rope around the turkey's neck - (I figured it was probably dead since it was starting to smell funny and hadn't been fed in several days). I thought if we could simulate flying, the bird might get revived, so after tying it by the neck to the tether, a couple kids from the neighborhood came over to play tetherball. they thought it was funny that the ball had been replaced by a turkey, feathers and all. I told them that if the bird was zippin' 'round the pole a few times, getting oxygen in its lungs, that maybe it would get resusitated, like they do to cats and dogs after a fire in a house. So, after looking at me like I was the man in the moon, the figured, why not and started 'battin that bird with their fists. Damn! I was right - after a few swipes, that bird did come back to life. I told 'em to stop, I wanted to untie it as soon as it started squawking. Spoiled brats that they are, they said nooooo..oooo. I figured what the heck and shoved 'em out of the way. After all, I would not want to be accused of cruelty to animals. I untied the bird, set it on the ground and the damn thing kept tipping over. I got it propped up now in the house between a radiator and some kerosene. (just till it regains its balance)
