Back in the days when I used to travel to japan with Peter Waddington,

his "dance" would be a staggerback in which he casually approached a newly bowled koi, clutched his chest, gave out a gasp and staggered back a bit!

what's wrong peter would be the response to which he'd reply " come take a look, it's a staggerback! "



so you'd amble over to the bowl and take a look and your eyes would bulge and your jaw would drop. and dog gone if you didn't staggerback...different time, different "dance' but same reason!

in short..."it's the joy of koi!"
