(grin) I also remember an entire square "dancing mirror" to me a few years ago. (EVERYTHING is done in mirror image. Promenades go clockwise. Right pull by is done with the left hand. Ladies still go "under" on a star thru, but the wrong hand is used. Swing is almost impossible to perform.) It is technically just as easy to call such a square home as to call any other square home, but it's amazing how tough it is in practice! My brain hurt just looking at that square.
It's fun to be the caller thus "hassled", because in most cases it means the dancers trust me to deal with it smoothly. And it gives great opportunities for chatting with the dancers from the stage. "Oh, you folks are gonna get me in trouble here!" or "The men's square seems to have gotten home first." :-) (I'm such a troublemaker...!)
