- One boy would say the following lines:"Hy! my man! Would you carry my can?
Would you blow the bellows?
Would you fight the French?"Then all the boys would start to blow their breaths on each other as hard as they could ( to see who would keep it up the longest)Then, perhaps, some one would commence to throw spits, and that upset the game.
