Spoil Sports!

I could kill this zany idea with a single observation, if I didn't suspect that it is intended to be entertainment, nothing else. So I'll leave the serious comment for the final paragraph.

Boy! you intellectual types try to take the joy out of everything, don't you? First of all, let me reassure you that the supplying of nutrition to a suckling infant is the least of the contributions the female breasts contribute to the welfare of mankind. That smile on the little one's face isn't just because of the taste of the beverage, (yukky, don't ask!), but because of a brief return to the ecstasy of total comfort.

Without the constant promise of the existence of such comforts many a man, and woman, would put a gun to his head during hard times. Tropical wear is the sole explanation of why more people in the tropics walk around with a smile on their faces, than in temperate or frigid climates, unless there's a famine or war or pestilence or natural disaster on. Those disasters are to compensate for the year round bounty of half-exposed pulchritude, male and female, some kind of karmic law I suppose. The women get their little ogling on too! I've seen them. We get caught because we have to look up, they look down, and they take it in real quick! Check it out. (I'm citing Chris Rock here, I believe; but he opened my eyes, it's true!)

I suggest that you burn the bra, (where have I heard that one before?) and let the girls run free. Leave the heavy lifting to us guys. I'll bet you would get all the help you want in that general area, if you know what I mean. Would that be green power or girl power, or the power of the girls.

I suggested once to my wife that we could hook up a bicycle dynamo to the marriage bed and return some of the energy expended there to the grid. "Let's go pay the light bill!" would be the rallying call there. "That's gross," she demurred; the romantic type.

The mention of the bicycle dynamo brings me to the serious observation. The idea of human generated electrical energy has been around for most of the last century. It was pushed during one of the last wars as a means of taking the pressure off the war effort, by reducing the demand on batteries. (This from a very distant and cursory memory.)

The point being, that there are parts of the human body that generate a lot more energy over a much wider range of motion than the female breasts. I refer to the legs and arms. Again, this is old hat. I still have a watch that never runs down because of the motion of my left arm as long as I'm awake. So, the technology is all there already, Ms. So, so you don't need to reinvent the wheel. In fact it's been there for so long the patents are probably all in the public domain already, although I'm not sure know how these things work, and I should. I have some zany ideas of my own I'd like to expose to scrutiny, but re-inventing the wheel, or the female bra, isn't one of them.
