Maggie's Farm

So my more worldly colleagues tell me that under the table relief was a well known feature of certain Philippine establishments.... all it cost was some overpriced sugar water for the hostess and of course, your own overpriced adult beverage. All that Olongapo liberty during the Vietnam unpleasantness educated young American sailors in much more than how to get drunk in a foreign port.

Sadly, I obtained all my understanding of this education somewhat third hand as it were, never having made a WESTPAC cruise. It is all to the better, I never had massive doses of penicillin injected in my derrière or had the much dreaded drips. But I did pick up the patois from my fellow sailors and can chant 40 years later:

HEY Joe! Buy watch! Buy Ring! Buy sister! She A number 1 Joe. ..... and so on.



All that hijack to say, this is nothing new, nothing that doesn't go on in dimly lit corners of some restaurants in the U.S. Just visit a few sites here of the interwebs and find out which of you favorite celebrities were groping/being groped or doing the nasty for all their admirers to gawk....
