re: #255 Obdicut

It’s tied to itself. Just using the rod to tie the bag to, as it were.

His modern example of this is ‘sense of humor’, which is written down on nearly every internet personals ad as something they want, but nobody ever really explains why. It’s obvious to us, we’re a very comedy-centered culture, but the Romans would find it bizarre and think these people were the exception, not the norm.

It’s a lie. Otherwise I would have to beat them off with a stick…
