Crazy Dog Events
1. Act like a crazy dog. Wear sashes and other fine clothes, rx carry a rattle, for sale and dance along the roads singing crazy dog songs after everybody else has gone to bed.
2. Talk crosswise: say the opposite of what you mean and make others say the opposite of what they mean in return.
3. Fight like a fool by rushing up to an enemy and offering to be killed. Dig a hole near an enemy, and when they surround it, leap out at them and drive them back.
4. Paint yourself white, mount a white horse, cover its eyes and make it jump down a steep and rocky bank, until both of you are crushed.
