Wunderbra!

Sorry I'll get my coat!

That's pretty clever. And would possibly be useful on a night out in certain pubs

Thought you said you didn't need a bra Amy?

I don't always wear corsets, I wouldn't be able to eat if I did! (Having attempted a three course meal in a corset, I know this to be true)

If a normal bra breaks up under the impact of a bullet against the armoured vest it gives another twist on the German name for a bra - Bustenhalter - or should that be Bustedhalter? I like the novel "Politzei" on the lower edge. Typical Teutonic thoroughness so anyone who pinches one gets nicked in the dressing room. I wonder how long it will be before the German Police find it neccessary to have a bullet proof box to protect the male police from getting their wedding tackle peppered.

Good point Esca. They really ought to, for the sake of equality!
