Level 2 · 10 mo agoThe story about the ladys inflatable rubber boob deflating at a dinner party is wild. Imagine trying to be classy and your chest just starts hissing and shrinking in front of everyone lmao.

Level 5 · 10 mo agoThe rib removal myth is total bunk. I never bought it. Surgery back then was barbaric. NO WAY they were doing that without killing the patients.
