"She bought me a bra that you blow up..."
94-year-old Betty Jenkins remembers a gift from her mother.

It starts out as pretty much the standard story. Betty and her
inflatable bra board a flight to South America, and the low pressure of
the cabin makes the bra expand until it explodes. Then the story
diverges from the usual telling as the copilot rushes into the cabin
with a gun and all the male passengers point to Betty, who hasn't the
Spanish to explain her situation. The plane makes an emergency landing,
and the authorities, suspecting a bomb, check Betty out and finally let
her back aboard. The airline bills her $400 for an unscheduled stop.

A spirited if particularly implausible rendition of an old favorite.
Give it a listen.
