Who Says Life Has to Be the Pits?

Bowl of Cherries (pits only)

After all these years, they’ve finally discovered a cure. Of course, we’re not referring to a cure for cancer or other life threatening illnesses. We’re talking about a cure for something that has plagued women for centuries — ugly underarms. Maybe we’ve been deluding ourselves, but  neither of us has been that bothered by our underarms. Instead, we’ve focused on other more visible body parts — our thighs, chins, skin, arms, noses, ears, collars, necks, ankles, shins, heels, hips, eyelashes, wrists, nostrils, eyebrows, big toes, knees, ribs, waists, stomachs, hair, heads, yada, yada, yada. Gina is particularly disturbed by her large hands, something she inherited from our father’s side of the family. Even her basketball friends have noticed. “Hey ManHands, you just fouled me.”

What do you think about this underarm breakthrough? Will it take your life out of the pits?

    Darn I forgot about armpits as an issue,,,,, just when you thought the world of materialistic overproductivity couldn’t try any harder to make us self concsious and lower self esteem they go for the one spot we hope only to keep odor free and maybe hair free,,, I wonder how this will impact teenage girls who are already oversensitive to their physical appearance,,,, I wonder how long before plastic surgery Barbie comes out on the market ,,, that way we can teach little girls early on that surgery is the new natural.

    I think most of us have more important things to worry about! Like, can I get my Aspie out the door for school without a meltdown?

    This is going to bring on a flurry of armpit farts. Just sayin.

    Its the similar story with celebreties continually obtaining too much plastic surgery, I hope they could go for a more healthy look.
