I was folding clothes in the kitchen and my mind wandered to other uses for a foobie.....  

1. If I wanted to be a drug smuggler, I could empty my foobie and fill it with drugs.  I doubt I would be caught.

2. I could use it to weigh down the table cloth at the picnic site as it always blows away

3. We could use it as a football as my kids are forever losing theirs

What else would you use your foobie for?

A friend sent me this one a while ago:

Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost from $499 to $699, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

This is best for those of you who've had bilaterals since you'll get stereo sound!

My friend/former co-worker, who is 15 years post radical + prophylactic MX for Stage 3B BC, is (how do I say this?), a cheap drunk.  In fact,she and I are both notorious for being "total lightweights."  We get loopy after a half glass of wine. 

One of her foobies accidentally fell out at a work function years ago.  She laughed and put everyone else at ease, so everyone began to chuckle and that led to some hysterical stories being told.  Since then, if a party looks like a dud, she has been known to take one out and roll it down the floor.  Her little "party trick" has never failed to get folks to relax and have a good time!

Remember the movie "Cone Heads", well my friend came over popped one of my foobs on her head and said we could dress up for Mardi Gras this year as "B/Foob Heads"..................

Her other suggestion was to use them as hear muffs on a cold day......................

oh... i like the ear muffs.... I am going skiing tomorrow so that idea might come in handy.  Not sure about popping it out as a way to get the party started.  It could also be used as an icepack to put over a black eye or ankle sprain.... the possibilities are endless....

A friend of mine came out of her bathroom after showering to find her granddaughter chewing on one of her foobs, that was left on the nightstand, like a teething ring. This story gets told frequently at our support group meetings for a good laugh.

I just bought a swimform this morning... I will have to try that one out.  My regular form is so big that I am sure I could use it as a pillow.

Mine is pretty squishy (my $$$ silicon one, not the cheap fiberfill one I wear instead).  Maybe use it as one of those "stress-buster" things that you hold in your hand and squish back and forth?

Spare body part for a Halloween costume, placed just about anywhere?  (The self-sticking, adhesive kind would work best for that.)

[Sorry -- forgot to add this.  Beesie, that's HILARIOUS!  iTit?  Hah hah.  Gotta show my dh -- he's an avid Apple/Macintosh fan.  And, let's not talk about the drug-smuggling possibilities, okay?  I think TSA has already thought of that, but they're afraid to do anything about it.  So far, anyway....]

For stress-busting, you want to try testicular implants .....they are play-balls supreme. please don't ask how i know that.

PS i didnt mean they had to be implanted by the way. I might get to handle unusual stuff now and then but im not That sort of girl ;)

??testicular implants??? You got me thinking on how you might know about them.... are they for men that have had a testicle removed due to cancer?  I never thought about that before.

I agree, ice cream is a better butt enhancer.....

Darn, I wish I had thought of the bean bag idea.  I just got back from a Haiti fundraiser and the school and they had bean bag target but were short bean bags for it.  How many wide eyed kids (and parents) do you think I would have shocked if I pulled it out.  All in the name of charity,of course...

I was just fitted for my very first foob today ... feels kind of weird, but I love this thread.  I LOVE the iTit!  Okay, how about an icepack for the cooler, especially those new foobs with the 'cooling gel' things on the back side.

How long after surgery can you get foobs?  Are they heavy?  Does the bras look pretty?

Lillies4Laurie -- a lot depends on where you go for your fitting.  My doc okayed me after 4 weeks as I was well healed, but others may take longer.  THere are several types of prothesis so ask to look at several and find one you like.  With mine, I can wear a regular bra so they aren't the old style bras.  Good luck!
