Raunchiest and most taboo historical photos 25 the drunk Basket in the 1960s bars in Istanbul employed basket men to carry their inebriated customers back to their homes these men usually worked as Porters during the day and as basket men at night to supplement their incomes it
Couldn’t have been the easiest job to do I mean the distance between the customer and the poor basket man leaves a lot to be said but it was actually a brilliant idea in Turkish these folks were known as kufi and being so buzzed that you couldn’t walk was known as KU to this
