We've all heard the story of the weary traveler who puts up at the igloo
for a good nights rest and gets to sleep with his host's wife.

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'
