Oh-Wa-Ta-Goo-Siam

A guru with a turban on his head comes out and sits down in the middle of the stage. Members of the audience are solicited to take part in the session. They are told to repeat the magic phrase after the guru. Whenever this phrase brings enlightenment, they may return to their seat in the audience. All sit cross-legged on the guru, repeating the guru's actions and words. The guru moves his arms and chants, "Oh ... Wa ... Ta ... Goo ... Siam ..." All chant with him. Keep it up for a long while. Eventually, everyone catches onto the fact that they are really saying, "Oh, what a goose I am."
