Here's a true story related to me by my mother, which she says
|
|
happened to one of her neighbors in a Venezuelan oil camp in the 50's:
|
|
|
|
It seems that a certain woman kept the ashes of her dearly
|
|
departed father in a silver box on a table. One day, after not having
|
|
looked at her "father" for a long time, she opened the box and was
|
|
horrified to discover it was nearly empty! Furious, she accosted the
|
|
maid and demanded to know "have you touched this box?" Whereupon
|
|
the maid protested "I didn't think you'd mind! After all, it's very
|
|
poor quality snuff."
