Now for the 'real' low down. Rosebury quotes Bourke about the Chukchis of Siberia: (The Chukchis) " . . . offer their women to travelers; but these latter, to be shown worthy, must submit to a disgusting test. The girl or woman who is to pass the night with her new host gives him a cup full of her urine; he must rinse his mouth with it. If he has the courage to do so he is looked upon as a friend; if not, he is treated as an enemy of the family." (From: Theodor Rosebury,LIFE OF MAN,NY:Ballantine,1971,pp129f) And you thought it all started with Gloria and Bella! Maybe we CAN get on without the ERA! Keep chargin' Ken Arndt
