So you like to drink milk from a bowl, is that what you're saying Janet?

The message
from (Cynthia Donahey) contains these words:


In an old book on Indian gardening, there was a brief reference to
leaving
a bowl of milk out for cobras. It seem to be partially religious,
partially blackmail. Has anyone (in areas where there are snakes) done
this or heard anything about this?

In Ireland, where there are no snakes, they used to leave a bowl of
milk outside for the pixies. The pixies were operating a blackmail
racket; no milk meant big trouble.

Janet.
