23. I'm a breast cancer detector.
Beautiful woman went to the gynecologist. The doctor took one look at the woman and all his professionalism flew out the window. He immediately told her to get undressed.

After she disrobed the doctor began to stroke her thigh. While
Doing so he asked her, "Do you know what I am doing?"

"Yes," she replied, "You are checking for abrasions or
Dermatological abnormalities."

"That's right," said the doctor. He then began to fondle her
Breasts. "Do you know what I am doing now?" he asked.

"Yes," she said, "You are checking for lumps which might indicate
Breast cancer."

Correct," replied the shady doctor. Finally, he mounted his
Patient and started having sexual intercourse with her. He asked,
"Do you know what I am doing now?"

"Yes," she said, "You're getting herpes: which is why I came here
In the first place."

Rep. Slaughter Calls On Jackson to Release All Documents on Shirlington Limo Contract
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson is already under fire for claiming he cancelled a government contract with a business because the CEO was critical of President Bush. But that’s not the only contract corruption scandal his department is wrapped up in.

Shirlington Limousine and Transportation Inc. is the firm that defense contractor Brent Wilkes used to “transport congressmen, CIA officials, and perhaps prostitutes to his Washington parties.” Shirlington’s president, Christopher Baker, has a “lengthy history of illegal activity,” detailed in his 62-page rap-sheet, and his limo company “operates in what looks to be a deliberately murky way,” with multiple, regularly-changing addresses, many of which were actually at residential buildings.

Despite all of this, Shirlington recently won a HUD contract worth $519,823. (Shirlington was also awarded a massive $21 million contract “to provide transportation, including limo service for senior officials” for the Homeland Security Department last fall.)

Today, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) sent a letter to Secretary Jackson urging him to make public all information pertaining to Shirlington limo:

31. I had to print that article for my show, and so I posted it here to print.
It was not meant to imply any connection between the OP's bra and hookergate.

5. Nothing better than finally finding a bra that suits you
AND fits you.

I don't like bra shopping. It's a necessary evil, but I don't like it.

Unless I'm shopping for something purty...and those aren't designed to be worn long-term, anyway.

:D

34. I'm getting used to this one that fits....
it really helps to have one that fits, seems to automatically correct your posture a bit. :)

Yes, things seem to fit better, too. :)

27. OK - the obvious question here is: "What did you do with the old one?"
To which you would answer: "I gave it to the kid next door to use as a double-slingshot/earmuffs for the dog/to clothe a scarecrow/to run up a flagpole (choose one)."

Am I close ??

37. Were you professionally fitted?
This is a serious question asked by another woman. Some department stores run ads about professional fitters being available. It sounded weird so I never did it but I still would like a better fitter bra.

42. It is certainly worth while to see a profesional fitter
(NO I'm not making a joke here).

Really, I've forgotton the statistic, but something like 50% of all women are running around in the wrong size bra.
