| Foiling? Is that a dance? Like maybe the "Highland foiling"?

| That depends on what it's foiling against, no?
It's foiling alone, so there isn't another foil in the equation, and I think I'll assume that there isn't another weapon, but is it fencing the dust particles in the air, or is it fencing the wall or a tennis ball or something? It makes a big difference, of course. I mean, if you foil the dust you hear "... ... ...", but if you foil the wall, there's a "thunk", if you foil a tennis ball, there's a sorta soft "thud", if you use your foil as a fly swatter there's a "bbzzzzzzzzzzzzz, thwack" and most likely that's followed by another "bbzzzzzzzzzzzz"... | |

| The sound of a person who's lonely because he/she is unable to find someone to "foil" with. As the song goes, one is the lonelist number. Foil me? <img src="graemlins/freak4.gif" border="0" alt="[Freak2]" /> | |

| Foil, or foil not. There is no 'try'.

| The sound of one foil foiling ? the same as the sound of one hand clapping.  | |

| The sound is the same as the cry in bullfighting:"O-lay!"
I mean, surely everyone has heard of Foil of Olay...

| Well, if that one foil is my only working one, the sound is probably about to be *snap* or *buzz*, *buzz*, *buzz* of it failing weights.

| the foil makes no sound when alone. It seeks no
thrust and has no parry. The disengauge is futile
the Coupe is pointless......one foil is a lonely number.
