Come on ? Let us hear your best Wives Tale!

How about...When you have a really bad ear ache, you put salt in a black sock, heat it in a metal pot on the stove (this was before microwaves) and put it behind your ear to ease the pain.

Being a student of Appalachian folklore, I have heard some real doozies when it comes to home remedies. My favorite by far is this cure for worms, particularly tapeworm:


Don't eat anything for at least 24 hours. Go as long as you can without eating. Then warm a cupful of fresh cream and sniff deeply. Repeat two or three times, each time drawing the cup a few inches farther from your nose. When the worm comes out your nose to get the cream, reach up, grab it, and pull it out.


Some folks swear by it...

Sit On My Face

by Unknown
Sit on my face and tell me that you love me.
I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you, too.
I love to hear you oralise
When I'm between your thighs.
You blow me away!

Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you.
I'll sit on your face, and then I'll love you truly.
Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine
If we sit on our faces in all sorts of places and play
Till we're blown away!
