Functional intimacy, one learns something new everyday. "Can’t touch this: The psychological effects of functional intimacy"

Whether a nurse is prepping you for a shot at the doctor's office or you are being patted down at the airport before catching a flight, functionally intimate situations are often unavoidable.

Before Elizabeth 'Fauxcahontas' Warren, there was Lillian Smith, Faux "Sioux" Sharpshooter.

And then there was Wenona, the Sioux girl.

Wenona, Cummins proclaimed, was not only the “champion rifle shot of the world,” but also the daughter of a chief named Crazy Horse and a white woman, born in a “tepee on the south bank of the Big Cheyenne, near Fort Bennett, Dakota,” and only 18 years old. Cummins offered a $1,000 reward to anyone who could best Wenona with a rifle at the Exhibition.

In fact, “Wenona” was not a Sioux teen. She was 29-year-old Lillian Frances Smith, the daughter of a white Quaker couple from New England.
