Several news reports indicate that Thailand may lead the world in penis slashings, often over disputes about
the common custom of men having a
second wife. The act is colloquially referred to as "feeding the ducks" because that is
apparently a common way of getting rid of the evidence.
The
second wife was jealous of the affection the husband gave to the first wife. She spoke often of feeding
the ducks. The woman severed her husbands penis in
the night. The ducks looked well fed.
