Friend of mine emailed me the following which I will share with fellow Terbites for a laugh:

What Religion is Your Bra?

A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife.
What type of bra?" asked the clerk.
Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?
Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable.

Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from.
Relieved, the man asked about the types. The saleslady replied:
There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?

Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them.
The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple...

The Catholic type supports the masses.
The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen,
The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright, and
The Baptist makes mountains out of mole hills.

Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the letters used to define bra sizes?
If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for, it is about time you became informed!

(A} Almost Boobs...
{B} Barely there.
{C} Can't Complain!
{D} Dang!
{DD} Double dang!
{E} Enormous!
{F} Fake.
{G} Get a Reduction.
{H} Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up !

I'm an impartial observer, and I've got a measuring tape - tell me where and when.


Suddenly all male Members of Terb are comparing the sizes of their measuring tapes hoping they will be chosen.

Gotta love that...thanks for the laugh Dragondick!

Since were on the topic of bra and cup sizes...yesterday I was at a local NC bra boutique and decided to add some lace & colourful ones to my collection. So I ask the sales help if she can show me bra's in 36DD...she looked at me and said are you sure your 36DD I said "yeah I would know" what fits me, duh? She say's you look like a 34 too me.

:)

I used to know people in the bra business. Surveys have shown 70% of women wear the wrong size. Also, found out the people in the business get very good at estimating sizes.

One of European bra brands had a campaign earlier in the year, challenged women to be measured, trade-in their wrong size bra & properly fitted.

An ex-coworker in similiar circumstance for a long time, she's now less 'eye-popping" but a fine contour specimen;)

Ain't that the truth...I was shocked she guessed right and for many and I am talking since I developed well enough I was always wearing a 36 bra....I feel a lot better knowing I am getting better fitting support apparel.

I can definately feel and see the difference.

...Welsh Sex Goddess, and finding bras drives her crazy. Below is her recommendation for the BEST place anywhere. Sophia is the 'Bra Nazi'- gives the gals shit for wearing the wrong sizes and knows how to measure like no one else (and stocks just about anything).

Sophia's Lingerie
