statement

Egyptian women wanting to look more attractive invented lipstick in order for their mouths to look similar to their vulva.  [source: Ancient Egyptian customs] Richard Chapman from Flagstaff, USA

Did you know that the average woman in her life will swallow 4 lbs. of lipstick? [source: T.V.] Scott from Canada

The phrase ‘pulling your leg’ is derived from the practice in the Middle Ages of hanging people in such a manner that the victims usually suffocated slowly and painfully.  A relative or friend of the victim would pull the unfortunate person’s leg hard to break their neck, thereby facilitating a quicker and easier death.  [source: A wise old woman whom I admire]  Lori from Phoenix, USA
