I can tell you've never been to Alaska.

You're a Texan, right? You know those big leather cups made out of a bull's scrotum? Before they became a curio, they held the jewels that produced enough testosterone for the bull to make a whole herd of cows happy. Well, a walrus doesn't get around all that well on land because they are designed to dive deep and scrape clams off the bottom of the ocean, but not for mounting the herd. To compensate, they have a bone that is very handy for getting erections since it is in exactly the right place. It's called an oosik. You can buy one in a tourist shop nicely scrimshawed for display on your mantle, if you are so inclined. You want I should get you one? I'll have to run downtown to get the price.

Other critters have similar bones. The marten and mink that I trapped had one. Long and short-tailed weasels have a really tiny one that is about the size of a tooth pick. Bears have one. A college classmate carried a bear bone around in his hatband and took it out periodically to pick his teeth with. I suppose he thought it would impress the girls.

Anyway, an oosik is a very handy device. Sometimes I wish I had one myself.
