Betty Swallows

A while back, a girlfriend and I were having a beer at my favorite pub. Whilst looking for our drunken, name-clad dollar bills that decorated the bar area in its entirety, all the way to the ceiling, we looked up and saw the words 'Betty Swallows'. This just so happened to be the third time in a row within one week that we had seen reference to 'swallowing' in a bar (yes, it was a tough week). We both looked at each other and said in stereo "oh Jesus, is that back again"?
Which leads me to several questions. Firstly, how important is swallowing? Secondly, do sexual fetishes come and go like fashion trends? Oh God, am I old enough to have seen them go out of style and come back already? Lastly, who is named Betty these days?
