what boobs are still good for

This is what they were good for a few weeks ago:

Last week, I saw god peddlers down the street from my house. They were two women and they were handing out pamphlets. I was gleeful when I found that there was no flier on my door, as I assumed they hadn't already been by. The iron was hot and I was ready to strike. I made the necessary wardrobe changes, and when it was all over, I was clad only in Wranglers and steel-toed boots. I was beside myself with anticipation over what would happen when I opened my front door.

Within 15 minutes, my doorbell was ringing the most beautiful ring it had ever rung. I took a deep breath, and walked to the door and opened it. An older woman clapped her hand over her eyes, and the other woman gasped audibly. They both scurried away without a single word. They didn't even leave a flier:)

Why are religious people so afraid of boobs?

As a mother who breastfed two babies, I know exactly what you mean. Good grief after millions of years of mammalian existence and people are now shocked at the sight of a harmless boob in a baby's mouth. I have to say though, one of my biggest defenders was my nearly 90 year old granny in law. When the in laws were being mean about my feeding my 4 month old baby in front of their delicate selves, she really laid into them. They kept their mouths shut from then on. I sure miss granny.

Good point. Perhaps a breastfeeding mother would not be quite as disturbing to them as a half naked dyke. Too bad we can't do some research on this...

Too late for me. My babies are already in school and I'm not having any more. LOL! I think a dyke exposing herself in a family restaurant might be a bit more shocking than a breastfeeding mother whose baby has had enough of blankets over their head at dinner time. Been there. Done that.

In my research scenario, I envision a breastfeeding mother going to the door shirtless, while feeding a baby. I suspect the women who came to my door would not be nearly as troubled by that.

I have not done that one. I imagine you're right, but I don't see these gals coming in for tea either.

I know that was part of the shock value. But really, it was a cute look as far as I'm concerned. I have a nice tan, for fuck's sake.

I wonder if they tell the whole church the story and they all stay away. It's theist repellent. : )

How about selling shades with your picture, which can be drawn to discourage proselytizers? If we could only make an automatic detector, analogous to a special motion sensor, to automatically draw it when they get within 50 feet.
