Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants share the original story about the bat found in a bra, noting the humorous aspects of the incident.
  • One participant humorously suggests that the woman might have had her cell phone in the other cup of her bra.
  • Several participants express disbelief that the woman did not notice the bat, questioning how one could overlook such a creature.
  • There are discussions about the design of bras, with some asserting that modern bras can have pockets for padding, while others argue that a properly fitted bra should not have gaps.
  • Some participants speculate about the size of the bat and how it could have gone unnoticed, with references to the bra's color and design potentially contributing to the oversight.
  • Humorous comments are made about the implications of wearing a bra that could accommodate both a bat and a cell phone.
  • One participant mentions that the bat's small size might have contributed to it being overlooked, while another suggests that the woman might have mistaken it for something else.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the humorous nature of the incident but express differing views on the practicality and design of bras, as well as the likelihood of not noticing a bat. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the specifics of bra design and the circumstances of the incident.

They said it was tiny, it might have been really tiny. Also, with back closing bras, you fasten them with the cups in the back then move it around to the front, so you might not actually ever look into the cup.
My wife uses that procedure. I guess I need to pay closer attention. :biggrin:

I think I might have freaked out thinking it was a spider or something, but maybe it didn't (or couldn't) move much.
I guess it was a very small bat, perhaps less than the size of a pinky.

Bats, while broad, are amazingly thin, IIRC. It might have only bulged 1/3 of an inch.

pinky?

Sorry if this is slightly off topic: Considering that (some) bat species are endangered - should it not be mandatory for women to configure their bra/cleavage in such a way that they are easily accessible for bats, to provide (temporary) shelter ?

Another geeky answer.

What do I keep in my bra? Often a sigh.

Push up bras to enhance cleavage have pockets where you can insert an optional pad. Yes, I have worn those with certain outfits where you want the girls closer together for a better fit. They don't make you look larger, they just change the position.

I usually just go straight for the duct tape. Getting it off later can be unpleasant, though.

I'm surprised there was no concern about rabies mentioned in this story. I've heard it usually takes a bite to transmit the virus, but isn't there still some risk if there is contact with saliva from an infected critter? (hey, it might have drooled on her.)

I believe there is no rabies in UK.

I never knew that! Wish we could say the same here.

At present, the UK is virtually free of rabies. There had been no reported cases in the UK for over 100 years until 2002 when a man died of rabies in Scotland after been bitten by a bat. As far as we are aware, there have been no cases since, and no cases in the UK for over 100 years caused by bites from other animals. The strict quarantine regulations for imported animals helps to keep rabies out of the UK.
Wow... Funny that the last reported case was from a bat.

. . . it seems it's not fitted properly to have room for a small mammal in it and to not realize it right away. . .

Mammals, mammaries . . . what's the difference! :biggrin:
