Some scientists believe that laughing caused by tickling is a built-in reflex because even babies do it. If this is true, then you should be able to tickle yourself...but you can't, can you? Even if you try to tickle yourself in exactly the same way that another person tickles you, you don't laugh. Why is this? The information sent to your spinal cord and brain should be exactly the same. Apparently for tickling to work, the brain needs tension and surprise. When you tickle yourself, you know exactly what will happen...there is no tension or surprise.

"Shoeless" Joe Jackson wuz. He would go into the stands in between doubleheaders and fans would take turns tickling his feet.

oh yeah....! you should see my brother!! -all you gotta do is look at his neck or something and he cracks up..... and if you wiggle your fingers in his direction- forget it!!!
i think that fingers are effective enough, so don't bother with a feather...!
good luck!! enjoy the tickle tackle!!

Yes. I tickle my husbands feet. He hates it. I just use my fingers. Do you have a fetish or what?
