Sports bra saves hiker trapped in Alps

An American hiker stranded in the Bavarian Alps was rescued after getting lumberjacks’ attention by signaling them using her sports bra.

The men rescued her from a ledge after asking her to jump — in place.

“Actually, after the sports bra was off, we waited for an even bigger signal,” one of the rescuers said. “Nothing says ‘Please help me get off this mountain’ like some T&A. An extended flash would’ve been a nice start. And that ledge had enough space for her to do a decent floor show.

“We didn’t have any $1 bills, but we were willing to save her life. That’s worth a little skin — or at least some free hot wings.”

Sega Toys creates robotic girlfriend

Sega Toys has created a 15-inch-tall robotic girlfriend that kisses its owner and is being marketed to lonely men.

The robotic girlfriend runs on batteries or defeat.

“To sweeten the deal, we’re throwing in a bonus gift,” a Sega Toys representative said. “Every guy who buys a robotic girlfriend receives a free seven-day suicide watch. If he doesn’t kill himself in that week, our customer-service team will offer tips to make suicide easier.

“To make it easier to go off a window ledge, they’ll tell him to wear an overstuffed backpack. For an effortless hanging, they’ll recommend standing on a chair covered with marbles. It’s our way to say, ‘Thanks for giving up.’"
