Someone, no shit, had to take off her prosthetic breast.

I am glad I wasn't that woman. I might have been arrested for assaulting a TSA officer with a falsie.

I just read that bit of news *Headwall*

Why are you making me giggle with that imagery of 'assault with a falsie' ? :D Oh my !

Nowadays, I am finding if I don't laugh, I will cry. Thus, I try to make people laugh with me. (At me will do in a pinch, too.)

Ye Gods ! *Hugs* And no, I decline to laugh at you. With you is fine.
