Something in the air?

Squip reckons it could be something in the air and she refers to this story which is just dying for a quote:

A farmer in eastern China didn't realise his bride was really a man until her fake breasts fell off.

Mind you that was six days AFTER they got married. The key punchline however comes at the end of the article:

Arranged marriages are common in parts of rural China where men greatly outnumber women because of the country's one-child policy.

Oh really? I though men outnumbered women because of female infanticide (and late abortions) not due to the one-child policy. Then again what would I know? I am just a hick from a backwards country that gets lectured by China on social responsibility.

I'll remind my man to check me frequently for false parts.

I've seen your site icon. Don't think there is any risk of things falling off. Your icon also suggests that you are unlikely to have this problem either :-) :-) I just can't believe it took six days to find out. Oh well.

I think the husband may well have benefitted from some early sex education - possibly a guide to the human physiognomy - or a decent eyetest and some spectacles!
