Bubba, as a follow up to the responses, I guess I should explain what Laha is. You will usually see tree sap given as the main ingredient. This old myth usually makes the old timers chuckle and shake their heads. Ill go ahead and repeat the often told story of how we all put this old yarn to rest.
Years ago, outsiders hotly debated the ingredients in laha. The tree sap story had really gotten hold. Folks love these tales. Some researchers from Katmandu Poly Tech. traveled to Bir Gorkha to do some tests. Kami Sherpa immediately identified them as spies from Casa de Khukuri and pinned them into a corner. Bura, the old master, was just finishing up the original Dui Chirra Americana, a 53 11.5 pound masterpiece. Bura decided the perfect way to quench or christen his work would be to plunge the still white hot blade into the belly of a rather plump researcher. About the time the Kamis were just about singeing the belly hair of said researcher, Uncle Bill and Auntie Yangdu returned from their weekend yacht trip on Lake o the Neems. And not a second too soon! The defused the situation and convinced Kami Sherpa to allow the scientists to finish what they came for.
Well, the folks from Poly Tech. discovered what most of us had known all along: laha is nothing more than a simple mixture of common, everyday, unicorn snot, elf blood, and yeti boogers. Nothing more, nothing less. This old tree sap legend has been the source of much consternation. One day, according to the union stewart of Kami local #211, one of the elves stripped down to his boxer shorts, ran out of the Bir Gorkha cafeteria, and demanded an apology from every tree in the company courtyard.
Hopefully, that answers any questions and makes you feel better about the laha around the bolster.
