I know there is cosiderable strain this piece of beach doggerel, Pat. I was reminded of Yossarian's comment
about one of his ministering (Italian I think) nurses who bathed topless and he desribed her nipples as being
like bing cherries. I read this when I was a teenager and the image somehow stayed with me. i didn't and still
don't know what a 'bing' cherry is, as opposed to any other cherry. Maybe it had an onamatopaeic ring to it as
well as the visual image.
Apparently there is a bit of a run on cosmetic nipple surgery to uh enhace their three dimensionality or some
such. The disparaging (I hope) use of the word 'tittoo' is not an original coinage.
Cheers,
Bill, now at Sanremo beach on the Italian Riviera!
