J. Algernon Hawthorne: "Against it? I should be positively astounded to hear anything that could be said FOR it. Why the whole bloody place is the most unspeakable matriarchy in the whole history of civilization! Look at yourself! The way your wife and her strumpet of a mother push you through the hoop! As far as I can see, American men have been totally emasculated- they're like slaves! They die like flies from coronary thrombosis while their women sit under hairdryers eating chocolates & arranging for every 2nd Tuesday to be some sort of Mother's Day! And this infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all time in this Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all this this prepostrous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like that if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight."

I love Terry-Thomas!

*Sigh* No surprise you like that, Charlie. Please, allow me to counter-quote:

Back to your quote, though: it is ridiculous, of course. If American women stopped wearing bras, our economy would skyrocket. (As would our morale.)

Hey well you fellows forgot the rest of what J Russel Finch said...

'You want me to tell you something? As far as I'm concerned the whole British race is practically finished. If it hadn't been for lend-lease. If we hadn't have kept your whole country afloat by giving you billions that you never even said "Thank you" for, the whole phony outfit would be sunk right under the Atlantic years ago. '

You are most welcome, Lola. May I suggest 'She Done Him Wrong' where she co stars with Cary Grant.

Captain Cummings(Grant): Haven't you ever met a man who could make you happy?
Lady Lou: (West) Sure, lots of times

That cracks me up every time, but I have to agree with Aries.....I believe it would have a very positive effect
