A friend just returned from a visit to Savannah, Georgia last weekend
saying she'd taken a city tour while there. She said the tour guide
explained that the term Cat House (i.e. bordello) came about because
such establishments in tht city placed a statue of a sitting cat in one
of their windows If the cat was facing out the establishment was open
for business, but if it was facing inward they were closed.
I tried to confirm that one, but the mega number of porno sites using
that expression swamped my Googling attempts.
I always assumed the term had something to do with cat equalling pussy.
Our inquiring minds want to know guys....
********************
I just can't end this post without a relevant limerick:
When the clients are more than a few,
There's a savvy old madam named Drew.
Who'll establish a line,
By displaying a sign,
That informs all arrivals: FUCK QUEUE.
