        @notmuchelse Dunno, but prostitution was a lot more popular then than now, so I'd say it's entirely possible.

        @AmandaMarcotte Is it wrong to have found reading that menu delightfully hilarious? The amount of ass play -- thought sodomy was illegal!

        @drbfg "Sodomy" was understood to be more about who you're doing it with than what back then.

        @AmandaMarcotte As enforced, sure, but not as the laws were written.

        @AmandaMarcotte apparently Bart Simpson was alive then. "Mrs. F.A. Tasse"? Get a grip, people.

        @IamSpamanda @AmandaMarcotte so it's not so much an old "menu" but a parody of one from a fairly old dirty book.

      @AmandaMarcotte basic history shows that's enormously fake. Look at the currency (ie, not pounds, shillings, pence) if nothing else.

      @AmandaMarcotte Can we all agree to start using "dog fashion" over "doggy style"? Because that would be great.

      @AmandaMarcotte There was a debate? It was a common word in 1850s England
