Totally OT.
I read the thread topic and I just got an image of HighPlainsDrifter, Tugboatcap or another of the all-American 'manly men' contingent walking out to the barn to put an ailing and worn-out old bra out of its misery.
Shades of "To Kill a Mockingbird":
"Some things a man has to do for himself, and shooting a bra is one of them."
Sorry
