Tuesday bonus round
A friend of mine posted the following on Facebook:
What is proper business etiquette when your bra explodes in a business meeting? Yesterday, I was wearing one of the convertible strap bras with a camisole and a cardigan. As I was emphatically making my drafting point to the 3 men in the room with me, SPROING! My strap gives, and shoots out the front of my camisole. 3 pairs of eyes shifted to my chest - morbid curiosity as to why black snake-like things are shooting out of my shirt got the better of them. For the rest of the meeting, my strap roamed free. Awkward.No, really, this was a friend of mine. If my underwear suddenly began to pop free from my clothing like so many snakes from a joke can of peanuts, I'd tell you. But isn't this a great story?
