I once did hear a nice story about this custom and, although it's almost certainly untrue, I 
thought I'd ask if anyone else has ever heard it to be true.

I heard that the DJ could play 2 different versions of La Cumparsitas at the end of the 
milonga. The first was to indicate that the milonga was coming to an end and the 2nd gave 
people the opportunity to dance the very last dance with the partner of their choice and, 
presumably, to arrange a liaison afterwards. As I say, probably not true, but a nice idea :-).

P.S. I always do it at my milongas :-).
