A small grammatical correction:

  Ohne Händchen, mit *den* Füßen zu spielen

BTW, is this title your invention or do you cite something?  The
German diminutive `Händchen' has some additional connotations which
makes this `joke' sound a bit strange, especially because you don't
use the expected parallel diminutive, `Füßchen'.

  -> Händchen halten
  -> ein gutes Händchen haben für etwas
  -> ein glückliches Händchen haben

Hehehe, thanks, Werner. My wife (a German professor) already corrected the "den" part. She didn't mention the connotations of Händchen though. And yes, I made it up. :) Would it be better simply to say Hände instead, or to change it to Füßchen?
