Some Things Never Change

"But the bad women, those called harlots, (show) no fine feelings; quite publicly they go about chewing chicle along the roads, in the market place, clacking like castanets."
    ---Fray Bernardino de Sahagun, writing about Aztec society in the 1590's

Just a little tidbit I picked up from the book Chicle, about the history of chewing gum, from the ancient Mayans to Wrigley.  One of the funnest parts of writing a book is the research.  Turns out there's a book for everything!
