Testimony

I was just reading that the word "testimony" comes from the same root as "testicles".

It comes from the ancient practice of reaching inside a man's clothing to gently touch his testicles as a gesture of good faith. Thus, "testifying".

I think this practice should be revived. So who's got some good faith here???

:sifone:

 

where did you read this?

i second this.

 

wow, trustworthy

 

This could make testifying in a court of law much more interesting!

 

I'm here to testify that I've been told I have big balls.
