asshole Mug
In the 18th and 19th century, thievery was prevalent in the Wild West. Freight companies often used teams of horses or donkeys to move goods from town to town. Marauding thieves would often target these mule and horse teams for their valuable cargo--including salt, hematite and sometimes raw beef. Any 5 year old knows that trying to stop a 16 mule team at a full gallop, dead in its tracks is not only impossible, but also dangerous. One runs the risk of being trampled or even eaten alive, limb by limb. So, to bring these pachyderms to a stop, bandits would dig trenches 20 feet deep and 30 feet long then cover the trench with sticks and stones and weed and bombs. The mule team would unsuspectingly go galloping over the covered trench and to their dismay, would fall in and all of the horses and mules would perish. The cargo, however, would remain intact and it was then simply a matter of the thieves lower themselves into the pit to reap the reward of raw beef and hematite from the corpses of the mules. These pits soon became known as assholes, as the primary type of animal that would become ensnared were mules and donkeys. As rail and steam ships became more common for transporting goods, the "asshole" fell out of popularity. The true meaning of the word became diluted over time and eventually came to mean 'a dishonest or thieving person who does not have the best intentions for others.'

looks perfect!!! we loved it
I ordered 4 of your mugs -- and have received 3; hopefully, the 4th is on its way! So far, I've received "fame," "620," and "$" ... only needing "hulo." ...It might be a matter of me being patient, that the 4th mug is on its way. However, the 3 received SO far are all EXCEPTIONAL, in every way!!! Mark Moilanen

it's the best mug of the world !!!!!
wow! this mug is so thoughtful to giving to my wife!
The description tells nothing but facts. 5 stars instant
Your description is right on, except in 1989 I named my daughter Kallen Mikel (www.kallenmikel.com/original-art). I thought I made up the name, but apparently, it originated as a boy's name in Greek and Hebrew. I first found this out in 2001 when I was traveling to Finland. In the 'tube food' section in a big Finnish supermarket there it was, a royal blue tube of salmon paste with a blonde-haired boy named Kallen! So now I have discovered that there are many Kallen's of both sexes. I want to buy her a cup, but it has 'him' on it. Is there any way you can make that a unisex description for both sexes? Just askin'. Being a Barbara (Barbs) myself ... a 'cake eater' from Edina, MN I had to ask ... haha ;-)
