In Texas, in the early 1850s it was customary to hire Indians to walk behind traveling cowboys, carrying their spare change, tobacco, flour, bacon and coffee up their asses. Alcoholics trained monkeys to carry spare bottles up their asses, and when they wanted a drink they'd just kick them in the stomach until the bottle protruded far enough to uncork and pour, although oftentimes it was necessary to simply upend the animal and drink directly from the bottle. Putting the cork back in could be a trial, however. This is where we get the phrase "put a cork in it," meaning "your monkey walks funny." Certain nude beaches in Fire Island require one member of any party of four or more to carry spare clothing up their asses in the event of incliment weather, which is where we get the phrase "that shirt looks shitty on you, Harold" and "Misrahi's new Fall line is out!"
