Re: O/T: The Bra

[Roy Smith]

I have a vague feeling I may have heard this here, recently, but what the heck...

Did you hear about the two dislexic guys who walked into a bra?

[Lew Hodgett]

There are no new jokes, only stolen ones.

I just pass them on.

Have a 94 year old cousin, she is a great source.

FWIW, the German word for bra is "Boesenhalter" -- the literal meaning of which, in colloquial English, is "boob holder" (or, more formally, "bosom holder").

[Doug Miller]

Then there was the dyslexic agnostic insomniac who lay awake at night, wondering if there was a dog.

[Lew Hodgett]

Maybe so but somehow think my German grandparents, who settled in Indiana would have had no problems with "Holtzemfromfloppen".

[Mark & Juanita]

Apparently not working so well for this one:

Yes, it's California.

[Bob Martin]

Surely that should be "büstenhalter"?

[Peter Huebner]

Not Boesenhalter (that would be something or someone to hold onto nasty=20 people) but B=FCstenhalter or Buestenhalter. Essential information, I am sure ...

'B=FCste' equals bust in English (and that includes statuary)=20

Or the rallying cry of dyslexics.

"Dyslexics Untie!"

[MikeWhy]

Heh. Rednecks just call 'em tank tops.

[HeyBub]

No we don't. We call 'em a "challenge" (although, admittedly, not much of one - or two).

[Stuart]

Hmmm, seem to remember seeing that a while back - with pictures!

[Markndawoods]

OMG! I am going to scratch my eyes out... and stick a 2x4 in my ears! That my friend, was painful

I hope she's into S&M. Put a gag in her mouth and she's not too bad.

That was pretty ugly, but, for any normal male that punished himself enough to go to college, this one brings back fond memories. Those that didn't go to college can see what it was like investing just 3 minutes of your time:

[Mark & Juanita]

Yeah, that trying to keep one's eyes open during some of those lectures was sometimes a killer.

The local engineering/tech school where it was heard:

The male/female ratio here is about 3:1, but pound for pound it's about even....

Not the case at Georgia Tech, at least not in the late '70s. I remember one of the female students worked summers as an instructor at the Colorado Outward Bound. And while she was a damned fine specimen of womanhood she wasn't the best built in the department.

[Jack Stein]

Also not the case for Carnegie Tech, now Carnegie Mellon. They are known for engineering and science but brought in the arts and drama so the nerds had something to look at. Plenty of Hollywood starlets went there, and plenty more wanna bees.
