When I was a young skinny buck, I found myself in the south of France. Antibes - marvelous place. There was a small museum there, and I took time out from watching all the seminude French babes and hitting pastry shops. The one thing I remember from the exhibit was a smallish (one foot by two feet) Roman relief carved in stone. The back end was a bull, very virile yessirree. His tail was a Ball Park Frank, and his head was a big ol barber pole. No front legs. He was sneezing.

A statue of Pan stood in the middle of a small English garden on our campus. We used to go rub his head for good luck before exams.
Pan was a god of fertility, of ecstasy, of wild male passions.
But we were good girls of the 60s, and it never occurred to us that this ceremony might have any other implication than that of rubbing a rabbit's foot.

Copenhagen - the little mermaid? Is that what you are thinking of?
