A Bra's Tale

Posted by Miss Cellania in Fashion on June 30, 2008 at 6:35 am


Betty Jenkins was once an adventurous young woman with a flat chest. Her mother gave her an inflatable bra to attract men. But what happens when you wear a partially-inflated bra in a plane flying over the Andes Mountains?

It turned out the cabin was not pressurized, and the bra was expanding.

“As the thing got bigger, I tried to stand up,” Jenkins said, “and I couldn’t see my feet.”

The instructions said that the bra’s pads could be inflated up to a size 48.

“I thought, ‘What would happen if it goes beyond 48?’” Jenkins recalled.

Big trouble in South America, that’s what. Link -via YesButNoButYes

    HaHa....

    She is lucky - if that happened today, you probably would be accused of being a terrorist ready to take over the plane

    I didn't realize inflatable bras were that old. I thought they were a more recent invention (to go along with today's obsession with big boobies).

    The first time I hear about those. I guess I´ve been lucky.

    So many surprising things...an inflatable bra, the fact that she was flying through South America back when people didn't just do that kind of thing, and the whole bomb-search angle. Neat story. :)

    Wins "Most Embarassing Incident", hands down.
