Over the shoulder boulder holder

So I was at the emergency department of Calvary again today, and while I spent way too many hours of my life in the cesspit that is the waiting room (by the way, a big shout out of thanks to those people who won't spring for a doctor and instead clog up the ED with the sniffles!!)

Where was I? Oh yes. So I'm in the waiting room for a couple of hours, and I start doing my own survey. Now, I'm not that way inclined (not that there's anything wrong with that) but I found myself noticing the ...... 'bra situation' of some of the women around me. It had started earlier in the morning while I was in a coffee shop, after the buxom lass there walked past and I noticed she had what appeared to be 4 breasts. On closer inspection, I realised she was just wearing a bra that was about 4 cup sizes too small, resulting in "spillage" to create a second boob above the real one.

Then while I'm in the ED, waiting around I see another woman with.... how to say it delicately? BOOB GUTS! You know the ones, you're sure some time a few decades ago they rested on her chest, but they've now settled much further down, due to a combination of sagging (fair enough, not her fault) but most importantly - the lack of a decent goddam bra! I used to roll my eyes at those party plan ladies who stated that 87% of women wear the wrong bra, but after my comprehensive and scientifically inept study today, I believe it!

Not enough evidence I hear you say? OH, I guess I forgot to tell you about the woman whose bra firmly pushed her breasts out towards her back, lodging them almost under her arms! Or the woman with the bra so flimsy and lacking in support, it looked like she wasn't wearing one at all, until she turned around gave me the joy of seeing her yank the it down in the back.

Ladies, I implore you - if you bought your bra more than a decade ago, or it was white and has gone a nice shade of grey with age, or if you've changed your clothing size over time - consider investing in a new bra! Your shoulders, back and breasts will thank you for it ;o)
