The mint rubbing activity has been practiced for ages by people worldwide because of its many benefits and advantages: it's simple, yet profound; it takes time to master, yet it's relaxing and soothing; it's free, legal and healthy. Mint is the gift that was given to man a long time ago; man, in his wisdom, found a good use for it: rubbing.

As we all know and learn at a very young age, mint rubbing actually represents an entire class of time management techniques and life guiding principles, which includes other fascinating activities such as gas burning. A number of such activities require as key ingredient certain animals, and this is the topic of our article.

Now, do not think about foolish things. We're talking in this document about some wonderful activities you're probably already familiar with.

Nature, in its infinite kindness, provided man with all sorts of animals that he can use to improve life. Countless species of animals, from fish to poultry, from pigs to cattle and from shrimp to lobster were tasted, enjoyed and used for food. Other types of animals were used for transportation or put to work in order to give man more time to rest: horses, donkeys, elephants and all sorts of other large mammals.

Other animals such as sheep, bears or even leopards gave away their skin for man's clothing; snakes and alligators provided materials for fancy shoes and suitcases; elephant tusks were used as weapons and the fat of large beasts was used for heating and lighting. Still other animals, from deer to wild boar were used for passtimes such as hunting.

Man found uses for each and every being that he met. Still a small number of animals had no apparent purpose: cats and dogs, the little furry bastards, were too cute to eat (and they tasted pretty bad, too), too skinny to be used for heating, too small for fancy clothes, and were considered pretty much useless at first.

This didn't last for long, though: man, in his infinite wisdom, reserved for these animals the most important purpose of all; they started to be used as mint rubbing devices, and hence the concept of pet was born. And is this not a wonderful concept?

A pet is a continuous source of entertainment, enjoyment and well, mint rubbing: pet it, play with it, feed it, kick it around, take it for a walk, wash it, talk to it, buy it presents, take cute pictures of it - the number of a pet's uses is really unlimited. And what comes out of all of these activities? well, quality mint rubbing.

We even have names for pet-related mint rubbing activities. There's cat's tail pulling, for example. Now, cats don't really enjoy their tail being pulled and we all know that. This is just an example that demonstrates the important role of cats in mint rubbing.

That's not all, though. There's another very popular activity among mintrubbers of all ages: cutting leaves to dogs. Once again, we know that vegetables aren't an important part of a dog's diet (at least if the dog has a choice). The expression proves once again the importance of pets in the mint rubbing process.

So, if you have a pet, start rubbing mint with it - the little bastard will surely appreciate it. If you don't have a pet, then be glad and get back to your mint. It's the trusted way to rub and nothing can replace it.
