how about what you shouldn't hear a prenatal health care advisor say, but
sometimes do; "I wasn't breastfed and I turned out ok"

More appropriate to say: "I was not breastfed so cut me some slack"

....recently some co-workers and I, who were not BF, have been jokingly using
this as an potential excuse for potentially doing things that others might
not agree with (like hiding all the "gift" bags), as in when we have to
answer for these types of actions we can say ie:..."I was not breastfed
therefore not enabled to reach my IQ potential, so my GPA suffered and I am
consequently stuck in a low paying job, where a take impulsive actions and
make questionable decisions based on illogical judgements, I wasn't
breastfed, kinda have a disability of some sort so really should get special
consideration, and even points *added* to my yearly performance evaluation
scores, like a golf handicap".

Think any boss would buy that argument?

If any of my many bosses are reading this, ...just kidding!
