BURN THE WITCH!!

You know hundreds of years ago........ women (and the odd man) were burned at the stake or drowned for being witches...... now of course they weren't witches, since they don't exist...... well not in the mystical, evil and magical sense anyway..... but the monstrous murder cum execution of women happened regardless thanks to a hysterical and sometimes political reaction to the different.
Now these people were singled out by their behaviour, their beliefs and sometimes what was referred to as physical abnormalities......

One of these was the possession of a third nipple.... or a blemish on the body that could be construed as the mark of the devil. The third nipple was accredited to the use of suckling the witch's familiar........ usually a cat....... black of course, just to add more ludicrous melodrama to the whole affair.

Now........ why am i even mentioning this....... while it is significant socio-historically....... what the hell is it doing in my blog?

Mmmmmmmm....... well, this is NOT my confession... and i am NOT about to divulge that i've been a witch for the past 30 yrs and accusations don't count... so there!
But i was getting changed recently...... and as i removed my top, i noticed something that stopped me in my tracks.....

and here's the photo.......

Now you're probably thinking... ooer! what a slut!! Flashing her breast on the internet for all to see *eek*!

Now shame on all of you for thinking that! As if i would........ Everyone who's met me knows that i'm a total innocent and would never stoop to a level that would besmirch the good name of medical librarians the world over..... i can hear you laughing from here so stop it right now

So why the flashing of the breast flesh now?

Perhaps this image may help to clarify things.......

Note the belly button.......

So the 'third nipple' is actually an extremely bad bruise........ from my last copaxone injection....... it had bled a lot when i'd done it and was expecting a bruise of sorts........ but never in my wildest dreams (well.......... wild for an innocent medical librarian, of course) was i prepared for the apparition when i raised my top that morning......... i ran about the house showing people saying Look! doesn't it look like a nipple?? In the past i would have been accused of being a witch.....

At which point i lost people......... apart from my brother who i heard mutter.....you ARE a witch.......at least i think he said witch.......

The lesson to be learnt?

Things aren't always what they seem......... especially in photographs........

and perhaps even more so.........

with medical librarians.........
