Viviana, a blind dancer, exclaimed to Bob after a dance where you had to watch for your partner to return in the long oval: "That was a chainsaw massacre!"
Bob wrote a new Chainsaw Massacre that was more accommodating to dancers without sight: a ladles' chain into a seesaw. Call it as "chainsaw to neighbor" and "chainsaw to partner".
