1. Imagine you are at a party, and you see someone you like. You decide to approach them and
start a conversation. You flex your elbow and extend your hand to greet them. They reciprocate
by abducting their shoulder and adducting their elbow. You smile and rotate your head laterally
to look into their eyes. They blush and tilt their head anteriorly to avoid your gaze. You sense
some chemistry and elevate your eyebrows suggestively. They respond by depressing their lips
and pronating their palms. You think this is a good sign and lean in. They panic and dorsiflex
their feet and plantarflex their toes. You realize you misread the situation and retract your head
posteriorly. They sigh in relief and circumduct their shoulder to wave goodbye. You feel
embarrassed and evert your feet to walk away. They shake their head and invert their ankles to
run away. You wonder what went wrong and flex your neck to look at the ceiling. You see a
banner that says “Welcome to the Anatomy Club”. You realize you are at the wrong party and
decide to leave. You hope you never see them again.
