cure for food poisoning

next time you come down with food poisoning, you might hear ‘take the penis!” to cure your food poisoning.

now now, wipe that smirk off your face. i don’t mean run to your hubby/wife/gf/bf for a bit of naughty adventure under the sheets.

it is a wooden penis, mind you. this is a true story that happened in bangkok. an abbot has somehow or other use a wood to make a penis and ‘cast a spell on it’, thus invoking its magical healing power! i kid you not; read about it here.

apparently a woman who was down with mushroom poisoning, use this wooden penis to ground a mixture of rice and water, of which she took it orally…. and voila! her symptons disappeared.

now i wonder… why of all things…a penis? and i wonder more… why of all people… an abbot?????
