They were soft and smooth, like all skin on a woman. But the calf flesh was backed by muscle, so there was a firmness you wouldn't find at the hips, say, or in the small of the back. But it wasn't boney like the front of the leg. No, the calf was pretty much the closest thing to the perfection of breast tissue you could touch on a woman without getting your hand slapped away.","author":"Joshua Edward Smith","tags":["breasts","calves","duality","quote","touching"],"id":18313,"author_id":"Joshua+Edward+Smith"},{"text":"Whenever they are condemning weaves or breast implants, some people speak so passionately that their false teeth almost fall out.","author":"Mokokoma Mokhonoana","tags":["aphorism","aphorisms","aphorist","aphorists","appearance","appearances","argument","arguments","bazooms","berate","blame","blast","boob","boobs","bosom","bosoms","breast","breast-implants","breasts","castigate","censure","chastise","condemn","condemnation","cosmetic","cosmetic-surgeries","cosmetic-surgery","criticism","criticize","debate","debates","denounce","denture","dentures","denunciation","deprecation","disapprobation","disapproval","disapprove","disfavor","dislike","displeasure","dissatisfaction","distaste","false-teeth","find-fault-with","funny","hair","hilarious","hooters","humor","humorous","humour","hypocrisy","hypocrite","hypocrites","implant","implants","joke","jokes","knockers","lay-into","looks","natural-hair","objection","quotations","quotes","rebuke","reprimand","reprove","revile","satire","slam","surgeries","surgery","take-to-task","thumbs-down","weave","weaves"],"id":50678,"author_id":"Mokokoma+Mokhonoana"},{"text":"The log officer handed me a pair of examination gloves. Pink. Everyone else wore red or black.“Thanks.” I glanced at her name tag. “Officer Kennedy.”“You’re welcome. They support breast cancer awareness.”I snapped on the gloves. “I knew that.
