Beschrijving
Pulling out Hairs. A merchant (clergyman, monk, Jew) spends the night in a farmhouse, sharing a bed with the farmer and his wife. When the traveler wants to have intercourse with the wife, he pulls out a hair from the husband’s backside to find out if he is asleep. This happens several times, until finally the husband turns over and says, “I don’t mind what you do with my wife, but please don’t use my backside as a scoreboard!”
In some variants the cheated person (teacher) discloses his identity by joining in the chorus when the two others (priest and nun) talk about the pleasure they have had the last night in a reciprocal song.
