Blog Guy, I know you have a background in agriculture. I’ve read that nations are running out of room to grow vital crops to feed their people. What is being done about this?
A very good question. Japan, for example, has begun to require women to grow rice in their brassieres.
Rice in brassieres? Is there a grain of truth in that?
Absolutely. Indeed, bra rice is very convenient when you’re cooking.
How so?
Well, say a recipe calls for two cups of rice…
Hmmmmm. It takes time to grow rice. What if I’m just wearing a bra for a few minutes?
You grow instant rice.
I don’t know about this, Blog Guy. What if my bra gets ripped off in an evening of passion?
Where do you think wild rice comes from?
I think this is just stupid. Besides, I wear a padded bra.
So? Hence the expression “rice paddies.”

A model wears Triumph International’s “Grow-Your-Own-Rice bra” in Tokyo May 12, 2010. The bra, which transforms into a rice growing kit, allows the wearer to cultivate rice anytime, anywhere. It was created in hopes that more people will become familiar with farming and develop awareness of the importance of agriculture, the lingerie maker said. REUTERS/Yuriko Nakao

This is just plain ridiculous…. I covered my mouth to laugh and that caused my manager to look at me!!!
I could be in for a talking-to…
Wild rice! Oh, you slay me. That was good.
Hey, do you think it would work for mushrooms? Our climate is a bit cold for rice cultivation.
:snicker:
Don’t forget ‘Boil in a Bag’ rice…just sit in a hot tub for 10 minutes.

See, I walk away from my desk for just one minute…and something pops up on my up to the minute news source(I’ve been learning French, and just yesterday, we learned the meaning of “double entendre”)!
Perhaps the young woman pictured is growing long grain rice on her left side and short grain rice on her right side. I think it’s causing some spinal curvature or something!
“Rice Krispies Treats for everyone, join the Oddly Enough blog network!:
Speaking from an agricultural standpoint, I still prefer the bras that produce melons.
I can’t help wondering where you are supposed to keep, well…the things that are normally stored in your bra, during the growing season.
I understand they’re working on something analogous for males, which allows the wearer to sow wild oats.
money plants?
Those silver tags going up the strap – are those merit badges?
Need any help harvesting?
Always wondered where Rice Milk actually originated.
Harvest her rice, make sake, get her to drink lots of said sake, get her out of that bra, on second base going for third.
And for religious holidays, Uncle Ben’s converted rice.
I’m not going to make a sticky rice joke. I’m not, I’m not, I’m not.
That’s very mature of you, CrowGirl. Thank you for being the only regular commenter who did NOT try getting a sticky rice joke through me today.
only Japan could come up with something like this
I wondered what the purpose of the ‘water bra’ was. Now I know.
This is…. still… just plain… ridiculous…
There is nothing ridiculous about being economical by growing your own food! :p
First we had implants, now we have outplants.
Boobies – is there no end to their uses?
Now I’m craving Rice Krispie Squares!
GAAAAAAH Baz, you have GOT to stop doing this to me!!
:/
E.
Now, Mr.Pilot, would you like a rice-growing bra??? Honestly!!!!
Honestly…no. As I stated previously I prefer the melon-producing bras.
All new Uncle Bob’s Boobie Rice.
Available in a range of sizes from A-cup to DD-cup.
Just add, uh, water? And shake vigorously.
And dont’I look gooooooooooooooooood!
That is not you… Definitely NOT your jelly belly… you cant fool me at all…
And one more thing…. since this is a bra, nevertheless, what will she wear on top of this? I mean… when the rice grows, wont it be prickly????
Unca you may say so yourself!
Shra, I can suck it in with the best of em! :p
I was under the impression bras supported a part of the anatomy destined to feed babies, not everyone!
Well, you know how the Japanese are, dontcha M?
