50-- guidelines
51
52One honk per day, or call it an "eighth-tenth" honk.
53If your honk frequency changes, so will the number of honks.
54
55The honk should be short, but not so short that you cannot identify it.
56
57The honk is an animal sign of respect and should be accompanied by a
58friendly greeting or a nod.
59
60The honk should be done from a seat and in a safe area.
61
62It is considered rude to make noise in a place of business.
63
64The honk may be made on public property only when the person doing
65the honk has the permission of the owner of that property.
66
67-- disclaimer
68
69Do not use honk to contact emergency services.
