Isn’t there a _very_ old joke along the lines of: Man gives woman money or other valuable item for safekeeping with the admonition: "Keep this in a _safe place!"_ She tucks it into her bra or bodice. He wails: “I said a _safe_ place!” (Ba-dump-bump.) ---

Imagine a man reaching into his front pocket and pulling out bills, which have been resting next his sweaty nutsack, seperated only by a thin bit of cloth? How is a man keeping his money in his front pocket that is seperated from his nuts by at least two pieces of fabric (pocket and undies) possibly worse than keeping your money between your tits? And even if they don’t get SWEATY, they still sweat throughout the day. The only comparison would be a man keeping his cash tucked between the boys. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > There’s a story on the news today about a woman who was arrested for stealing a Greenwing parrot and hiding it in her bra. Definitely weirder than a cellphone. I once saw a very buxom woman who was rearing a clutch of Gouldian finches. She kept them in her ample cleavage, where they were nice and warm. Of course, they shit up a storm in there. Bleech. ---

The only thing I’ve ever stored in a bra (besides sweat while working out and my own anatomy) was a small beetle-like insect. But that was while camping, _entirely_ unintentional, and left me with a serious case of the wiggins for the next few hours. Ewwww. ---

> [@Anastasaeon](#): > > Yep, I tuck stuff in there all the time, too. I’ve been known, when wearing a dress or skirt or any kind of clothing that doesn’t have pockets, and I don’t have my purse, to withdraw money from the bank, and tuck it away in there. It’s not like they’re dirty or anything. It’s a good place to keep little things. I figure if I’m built in a convenient way, I may as well take advantage of it. I did this one night and woke up the next day with my driver’s license stuck to my left girl. 😃 ---

And even if they don’t get SWEATY, they still sweat throughout the day. The only comparison would be a man keeping his cash tucked between the boys. _shrug_ I’ve had men hand me moister money from out of his front pocket (where I don’t know for sure if they’re wearing underwear or not) than I have ever pulled out of my bra. Where is all this _sweat_ coming from? Like I said, at least with my breasts, it would be no different than handing someone, say, my wristwatch, or my necklace, which have also been resting against my skin. They do not sweat like armpits, they do not smell like armpits, I’m reaching down there again and no, they’re not even the tiniest bit moist or sweaty. I don’t go for a _jog_ with money tucked in there. Hell, I’ve had people hand me money that they’d been clutching in their clammy old hand be moister than the nice, dry bills I pull out of my bra (at home, thank you, not in public). And, also, as I mentioned above, if anything ever _did_ come out of there moist, it would go in the trash (or in the wash, if it was money). But I have yet to have that happen. ---

Have a look at the Dick Tracy villain **The Pouch** : [http://www.comicspage.com/dicktracy/dick\_villain7.html](http://www.comicspage.com/dicktracy/dick_villain7.html) He used to be a circus fat man who lost weight. This left him with folds of skin. One big fold is in his neck, where his hand is. He installed some clasps, and now he can snap shut that fold of skin and no one knows it’s there. He uses it for smuggling. ---

Some bras for larger ladies don’t actually touch the breastbone in between the twins. This often creates a little space that is the ideal size for a lighter or lipstick. I don’t keep stuff I’m going to be handing to people down there, but I’ve done it with both those items, as well as many others that I don’t expect to be passing around. When I’m driving long distances, I will often set my phone on vibrate and hook it to the neckline of my shirt because I usually have the radio too loud to hear it ring. I _have_ kept money in there, but I’ve never had it come out sweaty, and I rarely let people see me retrieve it. But I am, at times, extraordinarily low-class. 🙂 ---

OK, now I’m sitting here trying to think of things we can stick in **Savannah’s** bosom to try and increase in size. iPods? RAM sticks? TVs? Boats? I mean, you could put say, a box of .22 shells in there and come out with some 9mm? The potential is endless! ---

Anytime I go to a bar or a club, this usually involves dressing up in something that doesn’t have pockets. It also involves being in a crowded room where I would not feel comfortable carrying my purse. So naturally my ID, money, chapstick, etc. go right into the cleavage. If we weren’t supposed to put things in there breasts would be shaped differently, right? 😃 ---

I just have this weird image of the phone being in there and still on and some man having to shout into a woman’s boobs, "Are you there? Are you there?. Or a disembodied voice coming out of the chest area of a woman who has just passed out, saying, “The person you are trying to reach is unavailable, please try again later.” I think I have seen too many Marx Brothers films in my life. ---

OK-I think this is just nasty. Sorry. I know of a woman who keeps her lighter and her cigs in there, No cell phone, though. My breasts sweat–not as much as my pits, but many times in summer, my bra is soaking (I have no tolerance for heat at all). Blech. I can’t even wrap my head around the parrot or the finches. ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > OK-I think this is just nasty. > > Sorry. Why say sorry? It’s _not_ nasty for some of us, but it’s nasty for you. Your breasts may sweat, but I don’t keep things in there if there’s going to be sweat. Most of the time, mine aren’t gross. Then again, as I have mentioned on this board several times, I’m a serious clean freak, I mean, OCD style, and I can’t stand feeling dirty at all. I take a lot of showers. My husband makes fun of me because I change my clothes two or three times a day, which I always thought was just normal. Turns out I’m a bit of a freak. And parrots and finches? Naaaaaasty. They poop. I wouldn’t keep an animal in there. They will create filth. ---

OK-I think the habit is plain nasty-dry or sweaty breasts, large or small breasted, strapless top or turtleneck. If I saw a woman pull her phone out of her cleavage I would think low class and yes, dirty (as in unhygienic). Is that better? (jeesh, it’s not the Pit we’re in, I was being polite with the “sorry”).
