LOL @ steve, I got that from a friend of mine that told of some of his experiences in Africa. One was that when he was in the outhouse doing his business, he kept hearing the sound of a cat trying to get away; he thought nothing of it, then heard some thumps on what appeared to be a barrel off in the distance. Afterward, a few of the native boys asked "Mr. Norm, can we borrow your pot?". Norm agreed, and understood as well that it was customary for you to eat whatever it was in the pot because that was their jesture of thanks for borrowing it. Sitting down to eat and thoroughly enjoying the somewhat spicy meal, Norm inquired as to what it was; some boys made cat sounds, while others made cat hisses and pointed to the pot...Norm just grinned, finished, and politely excused himself thanking them so very much for such a well prepared meal. I don't think he lent out his cooking pot after that...
