"A girl who used to work for me believed that saveloys are made from fish because 'you get them from the fish shop'." Says Richard Mcbeef. He goes on to say "I was getting on for 40 before I became aware that medical doctors don't all have doctorates."

My ex as a young man believed that a woman's breasts grew every time a man felt them. The effect was magnified by a change of man, so that the more men felt the breasts the bigger they grew.
So a large-busted woman must have let lots of men feel her breasts, or possibly have spent a very long time with one breast-feeling man.
(His own mother had huge breasts but obviously this all didn't apply to her. Well, his dad was probably allowed to feel them.)
A right-handed man, his theory went, would have to take care to swap hands to be sure of not developing his partner's left breast at the expense of the right.
When he first casually mentioned this belief to me we were married, in our 20s, and he was a science teacher. He still believed it.
I howled and cried with laughter for about an hour and couldn't look him in the face for a long time without cracking up. He never really lived it down.
