You see; why didn't I think of that? It's that sort of expert advice that has
kept me coming to the list for so many years. ;^)
Oddly enough I do have a book called "Table talks and table travels" I guess
the most reasonable way for a table to travel is to walk so there must be
something in the concept. Of course, the table did end up in strange places in
India and Africa, so I would imagine it also bought a boat ticket at some
point and just paced the deck. Tables would do that being inherently
level-headed.

Why not one in and one out. That way it will look like it's walking.
