Now that I think of it, back when I had time for the SCA, I was at a revel.
There was a cloved lemon going around. For those not in the know, the cloved
lemon is just that: a lemon, with cloves driven into the rind. The custom is
such: SHe who has the lemon decides upon an appealing target, and offers them
the lemon. If they accept, they pluck a clove from the lemon with the teeth,
and then give the offering party the clove. With their tongue. Well, I was VERY
new to this environment, and so a few of my friends decided to help me "learn."
So, they give me this lemon, see? And tell me to wait until they find an
appropriate female. Up comes THE most gorgeous co-ed I had ever seen. Remember,
I am a freshman, and come from a sheltered home. Read: naive. When they said
that she would kiss me when I gave her the lemon, I assumed they meant on the
cheek, or a little peck at best. When they said she would give me the clove,
I assumed she would hand it to me. What in fact DID happen was, she plucked
the clove with her teeth, and proceeded to examine my tonsils. Next thing I
knew, there was a clove in my mouth. I still have it, somewhere. :-)

Interestingly enough, later that evening, I was in the same group as the above
female, and she was offered the lemon by another guy. When he kissed her, her
face flushed, and she pronounced it the best kiss she had ever recieved. By
this time, all my inhibitions had been whisked away in a typical SCA manner.
So, I turned to her and said, "Offer me the lemon, and I'll top it." She did,
and away we went. When we broke for air, she backed up a few steps, half
said/half breathed "Yes..." and fainted. I lost all cool, thinking I had done
serious damage.

We dated for a while. A shame it ended eventually. To this day, I still reign
as #1 around there. Which is really funny, since generally, my social life is
non-existant.
