Positions
How many different positions can you think of?
Positions of what? Body positions, you mean?
Yah. You know, like standing 1, sitting, lying.

Yah. Like standing or sitting up straight or slouched, or lying flat on one’s back.

Why not?

Yah, ok. So what other body positions are there?
How about the kowtow? I know it’s a sort of kneeling position.
But it still counts, yah?

And bowing and curtsying are also positions.
Upside down and back to front, they count too.
