Dear Lactnetters,
     My son, when he was working in South Africa, sent me a newspaper
clipping which is too good not to share.  It was in a question/anwer
section in the Sunday Times, Johannesburg, in 1986.
   The inquirer aksed why men still have nipples, since they (the
nipples) perform no biological function.
   The reply:
    'A businessman asked to inspect a Silver Spirit Rolls.  The salesman
showed him the boot (trunk), which contained a toolkit.  The businessman
asked why he needed a toolkit for a car which would never break down.
    'The salesman replied it was there "just in case".
    ' The buyer argued that if he was prepared to spend R1-million
(about $300,000 then) on a car, he wanted to be sure it would never
break down.  The salesman, losing his temper, said: "Sir, take off your
shirt!"
    'The customer obliged.  The salesman stretched out his finger and
said" "What is that?"
    ' "A nipple," the customer replied.  The salesman siad: "Exactly.
In your case, you'll never have a baby. But you've got one just in
case." '
        [The author of the reply was someone called Peter Mill]
   Cheers,
