Don't know 'bout them saloon girls, but I had a cousin once who was in the Navy in the late 40's. He wanted to make the acquaintance of one of those ladies across the border but ended up kissing the fat end of a bat with his head. Took every penny that he had on him.
He said that the bat sensitized his head somethin awful.
Didn't learn his lesson, though....went into a New York subway restroom once, by himself..... Someone introduced his head to a shortclub...maybe it was a long club...he can't remember.
Thank you all for the input...
