Tits


In order to elude punishment, some homosexuals dressed up as women and passed themselves off as prostitutes.

At the end of the 15th century, Venice passed a law that required the professionals to show their tits. The bare breasts ought to be displayed in the windows where they offered themselves to passing clients. They worked at a bridge, near the Rialto, which is now always called the Bridge of Tits.

*wonders if any single sentences read lately come close to the glory of the Bridge of Tits, also referenced in Milorad Pavi?'s Second Body*


Was Pavi? the one who wrote the Lexicon of the Kazars?

Indeed, I marry them in their unlawful bed, with an open heart I affirm the true right of any man and woman to their dark slobbering nights which are rare enough, and against which too many laws conspire.
