Koohii stories:

1) [bigloui] 29-3-2006(228): In the old days, salt was a worth alot, so it is not surprising to find someone reclining on the ground, mouth to plate, getting every last grain of that delicious salt.

2) [Weber] 21-2-2007(78): Remember the mock sushi documentary that circulated a while ago: "Because some feel that the shoyu was not salty enough, complementary salt dishes are provided on the ground outside the sushiya, you can recline and put as much as you desire in your mouth".

3) [PepeSeco] 12-11-2006(53): It is bad luck to spill salt on the ground, so you better recline and lick it into your mouth or put it back on the dish.

4) [joxn_costello] 12-1-2009(25): This is a picture of an artificial salt lick on the grounds of a nature preserve: animals can go there, recline, and use their mouths to lick the salt from a dish.

5) [Transtic] 21-8-2010(10): In a SALT pan, all the soil is actually SALT. You can recline, taste it with your mouth, and put it in your dish. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Salar_Uyuni_Bolivie.JPG/300px-Salar_Uyuni_Bolivie.JPG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_pan_%28geology%29.
