If you really want to have lots of kids…

Tuesday, 25 March 2008

I read somewhere recently that if you rub the dirt from inside a termite mound on your skin it will keep mosquitoes from biting you. We have lots of termite mounds around here, so I decided to ask one of my villagers if they've ever heard of that.

He said he'd never heard of it, but that one thing they do believe about termite mounds, or termites more specifically, is that if you swallow whole the queen termite, who is always at the base of the mound and is about the size of a man's thumb, you are guaranteed to have lots of kids. My villager said one of his friends swallowed the queen termite, and now he has almost 20 kids (with 3 different wives).

So if you're looking for fertility treatment, this is probably the cheapest and easiest method. Although surely also the most disgusting. Ew.

Is that for the man or the woman to eat? Just checking! Oh, and do they have to be African termites, or will American termites do? Not that I plan on swallowing any termites, but Brandon could, just kidding!
