Horace Beasley writes on another issue of crucial national importance
Re: “Thailand faces destruction unless we can defuse 60 million boobs”, Have Your Say, September 2.
As a self-confessed boob man (and also a leg man, a buttocks man, and a pretty-much-everything man), I applaud Nigel Pike’s lampoon of what might be called Boobgate. I am overjoyed to learn that there are 60 million boobs in Thailand.
My wife, who is mathematically savvy, assures me that if there are 30 million women in Thailand, and if each of them has two boobs, that gives us a grand total of 60 million boobs. So Nigel’s maths is correct. My wife says I could have figured that out for myself, if I had a brain.
Sixty million boobs is wonderful, but it’s not enough. I urge patriotic Thais to get on the reproductive stick and produce more, with each pair attached to an attractive host organism. As an alternative, we could do some genetic engineering and produce mutant specimens with three boobs each, but that would look funny.
Incidentally, I hope Nigel got his afternoon tea.
