53-- guidelines
54
55One honk per day, or call it an "eighth-tenth" honk.
56If your honk frequency changes, so will the number of honks.
57
58The honk should be short, but not so short that you cannot identify it.
59
60The honk is an animal sign of respect and should be accompanied by a
61friendly greeting or a nod.
62
63The honk should be done from a seat and in a safe area.
64
65It is considered rude to make noise in a place of business.
66
67The honk may be made on public property only when the person doing
68the honk has the permission of the owner of that property.
69
70-- disclaimer
71
72Do not use honk to contact emergency services.
