WHAT???? When did they take the sounds effects out of the mechanic?

Now, keep your arm out long enough that anyone watching would notice it, then let it drop. Usually 3-5 seconds or so, give or take.

If for some reason, I'm not going to be moving much (rare), I might leave it out for the duration. However, as Dave says, long enough to figure everyone has seen it then down it goes.
