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