I just read the THING and find it very funny. Actually, I once made a comparison like this to a colleague and tho we thought it was funny, we decided that it was risky to share with anyone not in the LC circle. However, when trying to get the attention of physicians and other health prof. I once began a letter soliciting support for our 3-County Breastfeeding Network by something like "Remember your first kiss? It was probably sloppy, poorly aimed, and not too satisfying. But since you knew this could be better from having seen others do it more successfully, you kept trying..." Yee gads, you should have heard the repercussions I got from some of the physicians. So, I was more cautious. In our Lactnet forum we need the freedom to have a good laugh, even if it risks offending some. It is only a joke, and many other serious and helpful items are in the same Digest. If it is not your kind of humor, stop reading it. More examples of how righteous people feel is the way women are asked not to BF in public and how I was asked to remove INFACT posters from the waiting room at WIC "They offended a client." I removed them and put them up in my cubicle, where there is often a breast exposed, for real! Canada and Australia, Africa and Europe seem not to be so easily offended. Funny, their teen pregnancies are much lower than the USA too. Wonder what that says about our prudishness. Michelle Scott, RD,IBCLC in the USA
