S. Wagner waxes philosophical and asks,
>What _exactly_ does a 'training' bra train your breasts to do?
Like Geary, Susan Wagner complains:
>I am flat chested. There is no other way to describe me; I am nearly 40
years old, but I still >buy my bras in the Junior section. ... The problem is
that the basic bra measurements assume that one has at least a five inch
difference between one's rib cage and the largest part of one's breasts.
Geary wonders about the syntax of
>training bra
He takes 'train' to apply to 'girl' (in the deep semantic structure of the
sentence).
If it's the _girl_ then indeed 'self-training_ is *not* a contradictio in
terminis, as I always thought and normal schools are redundant.
If it's the _breast_, then it only goes to show that only horses _and
breasts_ get *trained*
