Words About Things

A teenage girl in New Zealand is recovering after being hit by a car whilst flashing her breasts at passing motorists. The driver of the car was distracted by the sight of Cherelle Dudfield’s breasts and accidentally plowed into her.  Ms Dudfield was fined $275 after the incident in Invercargill.

“I was stupid… Don’t get drunk and stand in the middle of the road and flash anyone ’cause it hurts when you get hit,”

The girl told the police that her friends had encouraged her to flash herself to oncoming motorists but she regretted her actions. After rolling over the bonnet of the car she hit the windshield and was lucky to escape serious injury. The Judge charged Ms Dudfield with ‘disorderly behavior’ and encouraged her to keep her attention grabbing breasts undercover.

An 18 year old Sumatran boy has told how he became trapped in rubble after the earthquake in Indonesia and was forced to sever his own leg. The boy, called Ramlan, was working on a construction site in Padang City when the earthquake hit. His leg became trapped under a concrete girder and he was unable to move. Fearing that an aftershock would bring down more rubble on top of him Ramlan was forced to make a quick decision.

The boy used a nearby hoe to try and cut through his leg below the knee. When he found that the hoe was too blunt he called his workmate Eman on his mobile phone. Eman came running despite the danger posed by the remaining building on the site. Eventually with Eman’s help Ramlan managed to cut though his shin bone with a saw. Ramlan was rushed to Yos Sudarso Catholic hospital where he is recovering well.

“Ramlan’s actions were extraordinary and the courage and determination he showed is typical of many survivors with whom we are working. After the earthquakes in Indonesia, and the typhoons in the Philippines and Vietnam, survivors would have been the first to help themselves and others. Now they urgently need international support, including that being provided by DEC members and partners who are bringing in urgently-needed aid and medical supplies.”

Female members of the Swedish Army have complained that the Bras they are provided with are not of a high enough quality for combat. They say the regulation issue bras are sub standard and often burst open during strenuous exercise. They are also highly flammable according to a report in the Göteborgs-Posten newspaper.

Around 5% of the Swedish army are female and women have been able to sign up since 1980. the soldiers say that the unsuitable underwear has forced them to buy their own bras and that any issues with the men’s underwear would have been solved straight away.

An unnamed source at the Swedish army has said ‘we need to solve this problem as soon as possible, the last thing we want is the girls bursting out of their bras all the time.’
