funk_e 10:58 UTC 03 Mar 2008 | A good decade ago someone told me that in some remote areas of PNG the standard greeting amongst men is to squeeze the other man’s testicles. Is this true? |
mickniet 03:07 UTC 04 Mar 2008 | I've never heard of such a thing but PNG is the land of the unexpected. If you were to try it think the myth will not be the only thing that is busted! | 1
yuwi 12:44 UTC 04 Mar 2008 | Yes it was true many years ago in the highlands. Well documented in many books. Penis actually as I remember it and not testicles. | 2
