Der Bra Ist Krazy!

Want a new look for your sagging fraulein? No problem! Buy her the stick-on bra, the latest craze in Germany, the country that gave you Col. Klink, Kraftwerk and the Volkswagen Jetta.
Straight from "the hot beaches of Brazil" comes this one-piece wonder, a "bra" that literally sticks to the breasts using the amazing power of suction, and it's "set to drive men on beaches, in public baths and along German lakes crazy."
"The Tropical Bra" is selling like hotcakes in chilly Deutschland; one woman reports she's selling 20 bras a day to horny businessmen and their curious wives. The bra consists of two small pieces of soft tissue which feel like paper, and the bra is held fast to the Teutonic breast by a "skin-friendly adhesive" in the lining. According to news reports, "both patches are attached onto the breasts and the beach fun can begin."
"One bra I even sold to a man!" said shopkeeper Anja Quint. One caveat: the bra is only good for one use, as it is effectively destroyed upon removal.
Those Germans are always thinking up something!

If you've ever wondered what actual bullshit looks like, just check the back side of Lee Meyers' decommissioned police cruiser. Lee chopped the top of the passenger side of the car off so he could take his full-grown Watusi bull, named Howdy Doody, for joy rides around his home town of Neligh, Nebraska. Since the car doesn't have bathroom facilities Howdy Doody just craps all over the back and side of the car whenever he feels the need to let one go. (More...)
