Breast Implants Save Lives!

A new variation on the old "that bullet would have gone through my heart if it wasn't for that Bible" story:

A Bulgarian car crash victim was saved by her huge breast implants -- which acted as airbags to absorb the impact....

A police expert explained that the 40DD silicone implants "absorbed the impact of the crash".

He added: "They worked just like airbags -- protecting the victim's ribs and vital organs from damage.

"However they are not as safe as the real thing because they exploded, which airbags are not supposed to do."

I must admit I initially misunderstood what he meant by "the real thing."
