    Downright batty: British woman finds bat in her bra

    Wed Jul 9, 12:47 PM

    LONDON (AFP) - A British woman spoke of her surprise Wednesday after finding a baby bat in her bra.

    Abbie Hawkins, 19, harboured the creature in her bosom for over four hours and had felt a slight twitching but thought it was her mobile phone vibrating.

    Eventually, though, she checked and found the creature nestling in the padding pocket of her 34FF bra.

    "Once I realised it was a bat I was shocked, but then I felt quite sorry for it really," Hawkins, a hotel receptionist from Norfolk, eastern England, told the Eastern Daily Press newspaper.

    "It looked very snug in there and I thought how mean I was for disturbing it."

    The bat survived unharmed and has been released back into the wild.

    Heck, I wouldn't have felt anything either!



    The link to this story has a second photo that confirms that 19-year-old Abbie is not, er, overweight at all....

    How in the heck do you NOT notice that there is a bat in your bra when you put it on?? It doesn't just crawl in there while you're wearing it.

    As a side note, I can't imagine a woman who's 34" around being naturally a FF. That's really large!

    ‘I did not notice anything as I put my bra on. The night before I had had one or two drinks and I was getting ready quickly.

    LOLOLOLOL,

    What would have happened if she had three or four drinks the night before?

    ‘Bats often roost in trees or under roof tiles - anywhere that is dark or safe.’

    Four hours inside a bra sounds safe to me.

    Actually - I found this out on Oprah (imagine Whoopi getting measured for a real bra? )

    The fitting expert says that the number - 34 - is the measurement around the chest below the breasts. The number of inches difference between the chest and the breast measurement determines the letter.

    So - 1" difference, A cup; 2", B; 3", C....etc....etc....
