El Reg reports Brassiere belays boob-bound bullet, begetting bruised breastbone
[A] woman, who was cycling through Germany's least densely populated state of Mecklenberg-Western Pomerania, was saved by the wire lining of her bra, reported Germany's Gadebusch-Rehnaer Zeitung.
[A] couple had chosen to cycle across a field between the towns of Gadebusch and Kochelstor in Germany, when they unwittingly entered a conflict between man and beast.
Feeling a sudden pain in her chest, and glancing thither, she noted that she'd been struck by a rebounded shot and was saved only by the underwire of her brassiere, leaving her with but a bruise.
The minimalist technology involved surprised me. I expected something much more exotic.

TAPPING? You POLITICIANS! Don't you realize that the END of the "Wash
Cycle" is a TREASURED MOMENT for most people?!

(My german is bad, but here's my guess)
"A shooter may not shoot from a platform/cover more than 2.5m above ground"
"Hochsitz" is the german for "tree stand"/"deer stand" (and hunting from such is called "Ansitzjagd"

So translating it to German still preserves the inherent joke where you don't actually stand, but sit, in a stand? Ha ha, nice.
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
