In the center of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Mall is a tiled image of a prancing bull with a hole worn in the floor in the area of his private parts. The people in Milan believe that spinning on the bull’s privates give the spinner good luck. Every country we have been in so far has their own unique luck traditions, but this by far is the strangest. It is not just a tourist thing, as many passers by do a twirl on the poor bull while in mid conversation, then just keep walking and talking to their companions.... I tried to start a new tradition of doing a double twist on his tail instead ...and moon-walking past his hooves....I was pretty smooth so next time your in Milan check to see if anyone has picked up on it....
What more could you want out of life than to be imortalized in marble and have Japanese tourists spinnig on your genitals for hundreds of years, who howdy partner, cut me off a slice of that...
