A Boob Affair

By Bernard Olupot.

Today there was a heated argument at my workplace and it had everything to do with the #NoBraDay that was on 13th October. Now before I get into the details of the argument, allow me give you a little description of my workplace and its interesting inhabitants. You see, I work at a very interesting place where the employees are quite talkative, somewhat noisy, overly expressive and dangerously opinionated. This therefore means that whenever a topic of discussion (gossip) shows up, we devour it with extreme pleasure and utmost intensity. Occasionally tempers flare and unhealthy words get exchanged. However, the one thing that remains a constant is that no one gets a black eye and eventually lessons are learnt albeit with one or two egos bruised. Threats might be exchanged here and there but really we are one big happy family.

Today, one of the workmates thought it wise to bring to our attention the issue of men unhooking or undoing the ladies’ bras. Now while I am no expert at the subject of bras, I humbly submitted my opinion that every man ought to know how to unhook or undo a woman’s bra. I went ahead to offer the argument that there are days when the lady of the house might come from work, worn out and battered and she would use the help of her man to undo the bra. At that point Garry (who paid me not to reveal his real name) weighed in by boldly revealing that he had never found reason to learn how to undo a bra.

You should have seen the look on everyone’s face. The guys looked shocked and some of the ladies shot Garry the ‘you-must-be-kidding’ look. The old man ( I will call him that because he is not from our era) went on to insist that back in the day putting off the bra was the business of the lady while the gentleman simply sat back and concentrated on other things; like looking at how many wigs she is wearing and counting how many body stockings she has on. What a sad time that was!

Within a few minutes of the rather sad revelation by Garry, free bra-undoing advice began going around. As the discussion (argument) came to a close, a few lessons were learnt by each and everyone and I will sum them up in four special points.

1 – It would be nice to have another #NoBraDay soon.

2 – Every man needs to know how to unhook / undo a bra. Any woman who has a man that cannot undo a bra should give him an ultimatum to learn or find a man who can.

3 – When women are picking out bras, they need to not only think about their cleavage and boobs but also about how easily their men will be able to undo the bras.

4 – Boobs are heaven sent, there is no sense in hiding them all the bloody time. Ladies with healthy cleavage should particularly pick 3 of 7 days in a week to go bra-less.
