You know you have big boobs, when..........

Rate: 43 Flag

  

Oh my! Oh my! It’s been a long weekend flowing into Monday. Boobs, tits, and pencils. We got big boobs, little tiny titties, Olympic pencil competition, and foot hole pornography.

 

So let’s talk seriously about boobs.

 

(surely y'all didn't think I'd put a pic of my
  

I have had a huge set of hooters since….well…….

 

Let’s just start at the beginning….

 

The summer when I was 15 years old, I went from an A to C. First day of my sophomore year was full of comments like, “My, my, how you have grown.” All of a sudden, boys started asking me out on dates. I found out that I was fodder for the boy’s locker room gossip. “I felt up the flamingo this weekend.” And they instantly became a hero of the gym. This seemed to go on throughout my high school years. The funny part was, I was a major prude. Ain’t none of those boys even got a glance at these puppies, little lone, (southern term for Verbal) a feel.

 

Now that I think about it …..That could explain the lack of “second” dates.

 

Another side note here: At my 30-year class reunion the “boys” told me of their locker room antics. Imagine my surprise. The vestal virgin flamingo was a slut and she didn’t even know it.  

 

When I turned 18, those frontal masses grew another cup size.

 

Then another, before I turned 20.

 

Halter-tops? Don’t think so. Once, I found a top that actually covered these puppies and I was so proud to be “in” style. It was the 70’s and I proudly wore that cleavage out in public. The first club I went to, asked me to leave…seems my attire was inappropriate. No it wasn’t…it’s just the Dolly Parton chest. Never wore than damn top again.

 

My standard clubbing line….”Sugar, Look up. Here’s my face.” Boob men could spot me from afar.

 

One night I did win a wet t-shirt contest…. after way too much tequila,. (Did I just say that publicly? Oh well, we all do stupid stuff when we were young. And I was reeeeaaaaal young!)

 

Pencil test? One day, my roommate and I (she had those little precious-mouth-full-titties, that were so perky, I wanted to puke) tried the now infamous pencil test, while we were getting ready for a night on the town. She couldn’t hold the pencil. Damn perky bitch. I just laughed and stuck the hairdryer under mine. She said, best I not go without a bra….ya think?

 

Bathing suits? Bikinis? Those monsters flowed out the back, sides and top like a risin’ soufflé in a pan too small.

 

One year, I modeled at the Dallas Fashion Mart. I was so excited until they put me in the misses’ bathing suits booth. The one piece, iron-harness-kinda bathing suit.  Seems I had a rather mature body.

 

That was my one and only modeling gig.

 

Then came pregnancy. Those puppies grew to double E’s. I was 6 months pregnant when, finally, my stomach actually stuck out more than my boobs. Try taking a bath and lifting those babies up. They had to move ‘em to the sides when they were gonna cut me for my C-section. Hubby just laughed and told folks, I was a “2-hander”…. per boob. Nurse my precious baby boy? Hell, I was afraid I’d smother him.

 

Even when I’ve been skinny (I actually have a few memories of being skinny, once or twice in my life) I still had these damn big boobs. That’s right. It’s been said by several of you well-endowed ladies, clothes are NOT made for the well endowed. No button-up-the-front blouses. Sports bras? Sexy bras? Get real. Strapless? I don’t think so….They don’t make strapless bras in gigantic. Besides it could've turned into another souffle incident, with just a twirl on the dance floor.

 

So giving y’all a hint of the past, I now offer:

 

You know you have big boobs when……….

 

You’re jogging and you get a black eye (old joke but still funny) I quit that running shit ages ago. It took ‘em 2 minutes to quit bouncing, even after I stopped.

 

You get a heat rash (and I ain’t talkin’ diaper)

 

People ask where you got your boob job. (If these puppies were bought, they would be at attention)

 

Your grandson asks, “What ARE those? Do they hurt?” 

 

You get your picture in the paper because you were a good sport and tried the jackhammer at a public groundbreaking.

 

You screw up your keyboard. (For Cindy, of course)

 

Virtual Model has no body type quite like yours.

 

They give you an employment application when you walk in the door at Hooters.

 

You try to wear a sports bra but you look like you have one large chest abscess. …Also know as “uniboob.”

 

You haven’t seen your feet since you were 14.

 

You can put a baby to sleep in 3.2 minutes.

 

And last but by no means least………..

Little lone. Heh!

The Uniboober
just for you, uniboober!
Uniboober! That's good. Sports bras are just not the ticket.
I was gonna leave BBE as the lone male commenter, but - what the hell? I like boobs as much as the next guy.

Uh, normally I'd say "Thumbed" but I guess for this post I'll just say "rated".

Hooters. I can't frickin' get away from Hooters. Every day, someone brings up Hooters.

It was a misdemeanor, 'kay?
On behalf of my wife (a DD), I'll add:

Your small-chested friends and relatives request your excess, should you ever get a reduction.
You have the knack of writing very funny about yourself. I laughed for the first time today. rated
If you were a carpenter you could stash your hammer underneath 'em....

Funny stuff Fabbie!
Discussing boobs gets me out from under my work every time!
--rated-- yahooo!
Too funny!!! I going to gloat and tell you that I found TWO bras that actually fit this weekend!!!!
The scupper is just a cupper, but I can say I would like to try yours on for, uh, one night.
Better not dare mention a "pencil" test around a guy! They will get insecure...

I thought the story was "a hoot" (Southern term #2 for Verbal).
Rated
zum, sports bras do indeed suck!

Bill, stay the hell out of Hooters, for goodness sake

Austin, tell you wife she has my sympathies...I forgot that one.

Emma, thanks. So glad I made ya laugh....with all this boobie stuff floating around....I really appreciate you stopping by.

Trig, a hammer, huh? Since menopause, I probably could....oh gawd, how disgusting.

Mr. Mustard, Bless your boobie-lovin heart!

to the private PM- those are NOT my real boobs in the pic. That was a halloween costume with beanbag boobs. Surely y'all didn't think I'd put my real boob pic up here..... I was Mona Desmond, Carol Burnett style.
Very funny stuff Fab!
Hilarious...and oh boy, can I relate. Thanks for the laugh!
@bluesurly - "bitch"

Scubber, trade ya....

Kinda Blue, PENCIL!!!

Annette, thanks! kinda crude but sometimes I'm that kinda big-boobed gal
George, thanks and my condolences...here's hoping you can turn over in your sleep and not squeesh those babies.
This is a riot. I thought my boobs were suddenly going to explode when I was a teenager but they never did. My mother would laugh at me and say, "why are you even wearing a bra for those mosquito bites?" I remember training bras (WTF) and reading "Are Your There God, It's Me Margaret" and doing the we must, we must, we must increase our bust exercises. I took a second look at the massive brassieres that my mother had to wear, and the deep grooves she bore on her shoulders and began to pray that my boobs would not pop out to equal my mothers. Thank God they never did.

It wasn't long before I realized that smallish boobs have their own rewards. My favorite doctor who was also a plastic surgeon (had his own special clinic) told me that of all the types of operations he performed, the one that had the highest level of patient satisfaction? The boob reduction. Yes that's right, reducing boobs made women very happy.

All boobs, large and small are wonderful, and they are especially great when they have the opportunity to be used as mother nature intended. What a wondrous thing, a portable milk bar, no refrigeration required. And despite my protestations here to the contrary, there have been many times when I have longed for a cleavage. There is something ultimately womanly about a beautiful cleavage.

On a silly note, one last thing to add to your "you know you have big boobs" list above is:

You know you have big boobs when you are in very real danger of suffocation when performing a headstand.

You know you have little boobs when you can race a sailboat topless and not have to worry about them getting caught in the winch when you grind.

Sorry couldn't resist.
Plus did I tell you? You're gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.
ablonde, I tried to stand on my head.......once. "You Must, You must".... I actually did those exercises, too. Little did I know.....And as soon as I get medicare (in 2017) I'm going for the reduction! Nothin' like bein' gorgeous, dressed like an old Carol Burnett character. Thanks, I think?

Walkaway happy - just walk away, boob envy is sooooo overrated.
"I just laughed and stuck the hairdryer under mine."

!!!!!!!
nana...is that it? All ya got to say? What's with you guys and the hairdryer remark?
"Hell, I was afraid I’d smother him."

That just about killed me.
Fun post. Glad you have a sense of humor about your "girls". rated bOObalicious (:
i'm sorry fab, but as with most other members of my gender, discussions about boobs, especially when women are actually taking part in the convo, tend to leave me sort of inarticulate and distracted:-P
I wanted to post an answer, but I jumped off a curb last night and gave myself two black eyes. I can't really see . . . but I'm a good touch typist.

PS Each of my grannie's tits was the size of a well-fed four-year old boy. And my cousin Lainey's been an H cup since the Bay City Rollers were on tour!
Fab, I read and I rated. Moral -- the grass is always greener.

The comments were as funny as the post.
You are very funny...
I agree, especially about the running thing. I can't run with these. No way.
If I were ever in a horror movie situation and were being chased, I wouldn't get far. I guess I could sling them toward the predator and try to knock him out..dunno....
nan, you are sooooo forgiven. Boobs have been known to render gentlemen, speechless. And thanks for the voices post. It has been so much fun.

Cindy, LMAO..ohmygawd! those were hilarious. My favorite? the mammogram boobs. they always have to call me back because the first go-around never seems to get the whole picture... DUH! Brought tears to my eyes with laughter and the painful memory of "the vice"

Annie, thanks a bunch!

Tea & symph - love me some boobalicious! thanks!

See? I knew y'all could do some seriousing with this subject! Lovin' these comments.
The hairdryer... oh I laughed. What the heck, slam the book shelf under there, too. My bestest friend in high school had your problem and was always jealous of my nonexistence of boobs.

FUn--ny!!!
Be glad that your partner is not named Lorena and didn't perform the Lorena boobit! Did I just write that? YES!
New blog - you realize that you were one of the inspirations for this bubbly boob bio?

Helen, that's some funny shit.....Granny's sounds like My mother-in-law ...whose double E's I borrowed, when I was pregnant. Ya know the ones with stitching goin' around in circles with straps 3 inches wide...for full support! JC Penney catalog!

OE, always greener.... and these comments are cracking me up. Ain't it fun?

Delia, Yeah! Just like the old batman. WHACK! POP! BOP! titties flyin' every where! warning: Y'all better not piss Delia and I off.....
I am not sure what to say except the whole post made me laugh, I am getting a kick out of seeing how the men react, and Cindy's comment was like frosting on the cake.
Cartouche- YES!!! you did! OUCH!!

Mamoore- and sweet, sweet frosting it was....::Giggle, Giggle::

JK, I'm lovin' these "shared moments" ...sometimes it's just better to laugh at our rather distinguished characteristics.
I now know what the pencil test is. I had thought you were supposed to be able to hold it between them, like Molly Ringwald with the lipstick in that movie. It's under, isn't it?
wow, hairdryer?
we need more pictures.
Not speaking as a clergy man here, you happen to be describing my mother. She is the one known as Wilma in the post series I did called "A WWII Romance." So I am well aware of the problems those , eh, ahem, ____ caused. You don't mention the discomfort, which is brave of you and would have ruined the humor, but she told me that she was often miserable just carrying all that weight out front.

Cute post.

Monte (Retired) (so its OK)
Lordy, Lordy - I knew I was happy with mine (damn small) after watching a well-endowed teammate try to do a Pete Rose (head first) slide into second base. She did it right, technically, but still had to call a time out in order to deal with the abrasions! I admit, I admire, but do not aspire . . .
"They give you an employment application when you walk in the door at Hooters." OMG, that is so funny!

Rated.
Hy - read my lips, "under"...Sugar....it be "under" .... More pics? hmmmmmm??? to humiliate one's self or not humiliate one's self.....that is the question......

Monte (retired, thank goodness ) Wilma was right!
::slightly embarrassed and somewhat blushing::
"Thank you"

Owl - thus the reason I did make it in softball. I tried to catch. What the hell was I thinking. You can't squat (or slide) with these puppies.

buffy - When I was very, very young.....before motherhood-young
fab- loved this! I laughed so hard, I woke the house up. I share your pain, woman. I went EE at one point and to get me going on the uniboob!
Rated for the hairdryer, linked for the laughs.
Such a fantastic post! And the uniboob!
ok, in 3 hours I am now on the "most read" in last 4 hours. A first. and I have more reads, ratings, and comments than any previous post.

I GET IT! It's BOOBS! that's it! ohmygawd! Boobs = readers!! Who are you people? Boobie humor abounds!

Verbal was right.....it's all in the "title"

Remember this lesson, newbies! BOOBS!!!
rosie - EE's suck and are UGLY boulder-holders, too. What the hell is sexy about 3 yards of cotton fabric sewn in giant circles?

Odette - shall we say it together? It's "uniboob". Big girls unite! We want a giant sports bra that will "lift & separate" ......oh nevermind....that would be impossible.
Yeah-4'11" and a dd when I weigh what I should. Just gotta have a hubby like mine who says-umm, hey, NOTHING wrong with all that!!(can i touch please please please plea.....).
Lori - be sure and always stand up straight, as short as you are...and a tad top heavy, you could fall over in a split second. Good hubby. Like all 3 of mine!
Okay, I needed this laugh tonight. Wonderful observations here, fab., and I absolutely love Cindy's emoticons. Much enjoyed the repartee too.
Hey Fab, I have the best posture on the Planet! It just kills me to see some of those beautiful girls slump around.
I love a person who can make fun of themselves and do it without the annoying self-depreciation that makes you feel like you have to make them feel better. Well done.
Dusty, I am here to serve......just remember .. ...
__ __ mammogram boobs!

Lori, Hold those girls high!!!

Mary, was I making fun of myself? those are just the facts...rather absurd facts, but none the less...... I've only been living with the girls for 58 years (next week) no wait a minute...I was not born with 'em..... anyway, they are part of who i am ....but come medicare.....well, sugar, the profile shall be altered....
Not to be a comment hog but I had mine lifted two years ago and have had two friends since have the reduction or the lift. Just wanted you to know that you lose most of your nipple sensation-seems like an OK trade off until it happens. Other than that the biggest complaint has been lack of symmentry of the nipples- no one is happy. I would NEVER tell you not to do it, I would just let you know that there are side effects that you don't think of when you have dealt with this issue a while and you want to make it better. On the upside, sensation does return, but not as it was. All in all, I would do it again-but I have one friend who would not.
Lori, by the time I have medicare (to pay for a reduction) I'll be 65...mark my words, the lack of sensation will not be an issue. Seriously, I have visited with a couple of doctors about this. Initally they told me about lack of sensation....I immediately said....Oh NO...Don't think so! So now, I shall patiently wait for 65 and will be thrilled to get them babies higher than my bellybutton.
Cool beans, I figured you had been dealing a long time and knew what you wanted.
whew....Off the front page. The pressure was enormous!
::deep breathes::
But I made it through. Thank y'all for my maiden voyage to the "most read" column for 45 minutes. It was a hell-of-a ride. I think I shall go to bed now!
Huhuhuhuh, you said, boobs.....

Sorry, late to the party, I had big things going on, world domination plans to put into play! :)
There you are, Tink.... world domination? not when boobies are around...

Thanks to everyone that's reading this titty tale!
This is great, Fab. And girl, I so feel your pain :).
Shelle, I sooooo knew you would, you equally-well-endowed-woman-you!
As a member of the club, I would also add:
~When you never understood the need for a flotation device in the pool because you brought two of your own~

We won't even talk about keeping those suckers IN the darned swimsuit!

Fantastic post for those of us who got saddled with that extra special genetic grabbag--and for those who wished they had!

Rated!
*Snort* chortle, snicker. I am so imagining you with a hair dryer stuffed up under your boobs, fab. Mine are generous D cups, but because some poor black woman is wandering around with a flat ass because I "stole" her badonkadonk (?), I look like I'm sporting B cups...
LOLOL!!! Girl, you are hilarious!
I love the one about putting the baby to sleep ... right on, FF :)
Cathy, Evidently there are a bunch of buxom OS ladies! Y'all's comments have cracked me up. And my skinny hubby is downright envious of my floating abilities.

Askkw - D's, B's, and asses....oh my!

IM - FINALLY somebody gets the baby joke..... Can ya say seriously big fluffy pillows?
My D's appeared seemingly overnight at age 13 --- boys that age are ill-equipped to handle such largess. The dumbasses spent all their time snapping the back of my bra strap... I've actually displayed a (custom made) bikini shot of mine at their finest, but well, let's not go there. GRRReat post!
Sally - Wasn't it great that it took them, forever, to unfastin' the 14 hook & eyes back there? You get to the point that "the thrill is gone."
Speaking as a former pro bra remover, regional champion 1973, The single handed, three finger technique was my best move. The trick is to always remember which side was hooks. Index and middle finger on the eye side, thumb on the hooks. Pinch the clasp area while pulling the strap out being careful not to get skin, place the thumb and fingers together like you were going to snap them. Simultaniously, press down on the eye side while pushing up on the hooks. With just a little practice it is literally just like snapping your fingers. With me the big question with really big boobs was, A. Will they drop like watermelons or B. spring apart. It is likely that those boy who were snapping the back were just in training and hadn't mastered the move yet. This method is effective for up to six hooks. More than that and it all depends on the size of your fingers. You know what that means?
Bobbot - You had a 69 GTO didn't you? We dated once. Is was "BOOB-bot" back then...wasn't it?
Actually, it was a '67 convertible.
