Memory Foam What???
So I went to the Fashion Place mall with Pipes last night. We had gone looking for a new vehicle to replace her '88 Oldsmobile POS, we had gone to the Jumbo Buffet, gorging ourselves on Chinese, Japanese and generally Asian food, and we needed someplace to walk it off.
By the way, is it me, or are kiosk salespersons getting much more aggressive these days? I'm going to have to wear a suit of body-armor, a taser and some jogging shoes next time I go to the mall. It could very well be the fact that I only see the inside of a mall about once every three to six months at this stage in my life, but it really annoys me when people are so insistent, and ignorant (or lying) while trying to "help me" spend my money.
So we stopped by Victoria's Secret as part of our circuit around the shops. Naturally, I affected the slightly disinterested persona that most "taken" (read: owned) males (and two or three of us were present) do, when confronted with so much -- or rather, so little -- clothing of this sort. And while Pipes was browsing through their various wares, a saleswoman came up to us and showed us one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life: a memory-foam bra.
Okay, it wasn't that amazing. But still.
You know what memory foam is, right? I have a memory-foam topper on my bed's mattress, which turns it from a boat, to a fairly plush and conforming boat. It shapes itself to the contours of your body, fairly quickly, enveloping you in a way that water beds never were able to do. (And better, it was invented by NASA, so it's at least as cool as Tang)
Have you any idea of the odd possibilities which this kind of a product offers? C'mon guys... I know you're wondering.
I say all of this, pretty much tongue-in-cheek.... but you know what using memory foam in a wide range of non-bedding applications could mean. We might never be bored again! I mean toys, mostly. And I'm sorry to offend any of the soberly-serious individuals who feel there might be a valid use for memory foam in undergarments -- why not? we've tried everything else in the last few decades -- and that it's inappropriate to even mention such a thing. But you know exactly what sort of thinking such a thing is going to inspire. Kleenex is on its way out. You know that men's undergarments can't be far away.
