I was kidding. Did you think I just went up to a girl and started rubbing her
feet? Hey, that might work..... No, No No! I don't even take science. I was
kidding. Besides, I don't believe in foot rubbing before marriage. :-)

Then I think I'd get slapped.

Probably even further than that. We're reading the Odyssey in English. In book 
3, Telemachus lands on some city-state where he's greeted, fed, and washed
head to FOOT by the king's daughter (!) I'm sure she gave him a good
foot rub too.

There's an idea. There are some pretty weird groups out there.
