In ancient Egypt, one of the tests for determining a woman's fertility was this:
An onion or garlic was placed in her "lady parts."* If, the next day, her breath smelled of either the onion or garlic, she was good to go.
And...let the jokes begin:
"I've heard of garlic breath, but that's ridiculous!"
"Okay, I've got the onion rings--where's the beef?"
"Wait, why are you crying?"
Got one? Add it to the comments!

I wonder if there is any science behind it -- or if it actually worked to make that determination. I mean, I suppose it indicates your body can absorb things through those membranes, but does that have anything to do with fertility?
Good questions, Amalia. Sadly, I was being too immature--chuckling and snickering--to even think that far. Which is par for the course...
I was being totally immature, too. Thus, I sent a tweet comment. :-)
Love your tweet, Cathy!
