silly things
So on this community, serious articles get posted, we engage in serious discussions. I thought it would be nice to do something silly yet related to anthropology. So I invite you all to post the silliest/weirdest/funniest quote from any anthropologist you've read. Just comment on this post. Perhaps we could have a contest of some kind. Limit it to three sentences or less.

"it is of course true that cultural boundaries are often drawn xenophobically and used in ways that are harmfully exclusivist, hierachizing, and racist. But from that it does not follow that boundaries qua boundaries are pernicious; to argue so would be no more valid than to cite the use of missiles as a condemnation of gravitation." (2004:454)
