Answer

Some people who claim to practice feng shui advise clients that problems with neighbors disappear if they urinate along the property line or if they pour their urine along the property line.

The first time I heard this my jaw dropped and made an awful thud when it hit the floor. Alerting my Asian associates was similarly revealing. Their look of sheer horror and disgust told me everything I needed to know.

Where do Feng Shui fakes get these insane — and insanitary — ideas? And why do such ideas seem rational to clients — at least until someone looks at them like they’ve lost their minds?

My suspicion is that someone watched the Disney movie Never Cry Wolf one too many times.

Based on the book by Farley Mowat about his days as a biologist studying wolves, the movie includes scenes of Mowat marking “his” territory by urinating on trees and bushes like one of his wolf subjects.
