Curious fact or urban myth?

Daily trivia,
One-on-one
I am indebted to my vade mecum A Miscellany of Sex for this little gem. Apparently, when a woman in Cali, Colombia, has sex for the first time with her husband, her mother must also be present. As the sites Google referred me to simply repeat this assertion almost verbatim with no additional details, I am not taking it as gospel. On the same page, my little book alleges that shop-girls in Liverpool are forbidden to go topless unless they work in shops selling tropical fish. Now I have been in both tropical-fish shops in central Liverpool, and none of the girls offered to get her tits out for the customers. But to return to the Cali bye-law. I’m not sure that I could have risen to the occasion with the old battle-axe in attendance. We’re talking straight-laced, kill-joy Puritanism here. I can just imagine her snarling, “You’re not going near my daughter with that, you animal!”
