Falling Bra Causes Fight
A falling bra distracted a male biker in the Shenzhen special economic zone, Guangdong province.
The man was passing a residential building when a bra suddenly fell down from a balcony and covered his eyes.
The man then had a fierce quarrel with the woman upstairs because he felt it was bad luck to get struck by a bra.
The pair stopped fighting after property management personnel intervened.

   Squirrel Climbs Out of 
          Woman's Top
A baby squirrel clawed out from in between the woman's bust as detectives questioned her at a police station. 
The amazing incident was caught on surveillance in Ohio, US. 
Detective Warren Mackey said it was the last thing he expected. 
He revealed: "I was not prepared to see a woodland creature in the interview room. 
"I kept right on talking to her and listening to her. I didn't acknowledge it at all." 
Astonishingly, the unidentified woman, was not under arrest and was being quizzed as part of a murder investigation — did not even mention what had happened. 
As the animal climbed out of her green top she simply scooped it up and placed it back down her top. 
Det Mackey added: "I really didn't know what to say." 

                             A Hot Day 
It was a stifling hot day and a man fainted in the middle of a busy intersection. 
Traffic quickly piled up in all directions, so a woman rushed to help him. 
When she knelt down to loosen his collar, a man emerged from the crowd, pushed her aside, and said, "It's all right honey, I've had a course in first aid." 
The woman stood up and watched as he took the ill man's pulse and prepared to administer artificial respiration. 
At this point she tapped him on the shoulder and said, "When you get to the part about calling a doctor, I'm already here."

Fantasy Lingerie Expands Sales
                Division
Fantasy Lingerie, a leading manufacturer of Intimate Apparel and Costumes, once again has expanded—this time in its sales division. The company has announced it has hired Bryan Gamza, as its newest sales executive. 
"We are very excited about the latest addition to our sales department," stated Fantasy Lingerie President, Mike Savage. "Bryan's personality and experience will make him an invaluable member of the Fantasy Lingerie family."
Gamza comes to Fantasy with an extensive background in the adult and intimate apparel industry, having spent the last three years as National Sales Manager for Electric Lingerie.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of the Fantasy team," he stated. "I'm excited about this tremendous opportunity to work with such wonderful people and be part of something truly special."
Gamza encourages customers to contact him by phone at (877) 777.4910 Ext 141 or via email at bryan@fantasylingerie.net with any inquiries. 

Sean Monahan Moves on 
         from Fantasy
Sean Monahan, National Sales Manager for Fantasy Lingerie for last 5 years has recently announced his departure from the company. He would not elaborate on reasons why, but mentioned it was mutual & was positive with his comments regarding his former employer. "Fantasy should become a greater presence in this industry in the years to come. I wish Mike & the rest of the Fantasy team the very best of luck and a very successful future". 
At Fantasy, Sean was instrumental in launching Fantasy's Sexy Costume collection (which grew 35% in '08) as well as their Private Label division in which he developed programs for chain stores among others (which grew by 50% in '08). Furthermore, Sean had tripled Fantasy's Intl business. 
As for what's next? "I'm fortunate to have a lot of friends in this industry that range from customers, fellow vendors and of course the press. I'm going to take a little time & evaluate what's best for my family & I before deciding on what I do & where I go next." One thing’s for sure according to Sean, "I enjoy this business & feel I could provide an immediate positive impact wherever I go, so my preference would be to remain here".
To contact Sean, please email him at: sean_monahan91@yahoo.com
