    Interesting series Joe, I'm assuming that is their courtship.

    Great to see, I love to see series that shows a proper progress of an activity.. and when it's something like a courtship (assuming that's what it was), that's great.

    Thanks every one
    To be honest, I didn't know what they were doing I just thought it was amusing. Nice to know that they go through a courtship ritual.

    Great sequence, Joe!

    I think it may actually have been a pre-nuptual agreement being discussed there!
