Tickle Nikhil's Pickle For Only A Nickel

Suppose you want to Tickle Nikhil's Pickle For Only A Nickel. In that case, you must follow these instructions: If you ever find yourself in the universe of Dora the Explorer, if you have a nickel in your pocket, go to any person named Nikhil, and give them said nickel. When this is done, Nikhil will smile and give you a thumbs-up. This is the sign every Nikhil will provide you with, and it means that you can start tickling his pickle. You get 10 minutes, and when the 10 minutes is up, you can either give Nikhil another nickel for more time or leave. If you do choose to leave, remember to thank Nikhil. Manners are key!

"I had a nickel in my pocket, so i just HAD to Tickle Nikhil's Pickle For Only A Nickel. Who would pass up such a great deal?!"-Swiper
