How embarrassing...just kidding!

As much I enjoy studying social protocol, it sure is strange sometimes.  If you saw a person dancing down the street or singing on the bus, you would think they were weird, right? But why, what if they were humming or whistling? This might not be strange at all, unless they were indoors. So why is adding words to the music such a risky move? 

Humming...okay.

Singing...not okay.

And laughing--we all laugh so why do we have to contain bug laughs when in public. Yes, no one thinks as chuckle is odd, but if I was to burst into hysterical laughter, you might think it annoying or weird. Why does an expression of joy have to be taboo? We could all use more laughter, I am sure. 

Dancing: We walk in public, and we dance when music is playing, but if music is playing in public, we don't dance? 

BUT I WANT TO!
