In recent months, this indian Jam Boy story has been reposted a million times on this platform. Goes something like this:

The Jam Boy was first introduced as early as the 1800s when the British Empire occupied India. When the British gentry went to play golf, they would have two men, the caddy and a Jam Boy.

The Jam Boys sole purpose was to keep the mosquitoes away from the golfer. To do this, the Jam Boy would cover himself in Jam to attract the mosquitoes away from the players. When the game was over the Jam Boy got to keep the jam he was wearing to take home to his family.

Does anyone have any actual evidence of this? Best I can gather is that it's just a legend that begun on Urban Dictionary. I want to believe.

Heard about this story and a few others like it. I always liked the "Jesus' lost years in the Orient" ideas.

Stop trying to pretend like your garbage posts are somehow "culture war", and that the people who find you repulsive are somehow the outsiders. Fucking disgusting subhumans, I swear.

I saw allegations it's an anecdote originally referring to pharaoh Pepi (not sure if the first or second), but I'm not aware of the origin of this claim.
