Teenager finds baby bat in her bra
The Telegraph ^ | 08/07/2008 | Laura Clout

A teenager was stunned to find that a baby bat had been curled up inside her bra for five hours - as she was wearing it.

Abbie Hawkins, a hotel receptionist, thought her mobile phone was ringing when she felt vibrations coming from her clothes.

But she later discovered the tiny creature tucked away in the padded pocket of her underwear.

As staff and colleagues crowded around, Miss Hawkins, 19, produced the frightened bat, which was the size of her hand.

She said: "Once I realised it was a bat I was shocked, but then I felt quite sorry for it really.

"It looked very snug in there and I thought how mean I was for disturbing it."

Miss Hawkins said she got dressed at 7.30am and arrived for work at the Holiday Inn Norwich North, near Norwich International Airport without noticing anything unusual.

"When I was driving to work I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile phone in my jacket pocket," she said.

It was not until her lunch break, at midday when she felt a strange movement inside her bra, which had been hanging on her washing line the previous night.

"I plucked up the courage to investigate and I pulled out a little baby bat. I just lost my breath when I saw it and I did not know what it was at first," she said.

The teenager's general manager freed the bat in the hotel garden.

"I keep thinking how could I have not known it was there?" Miss Hawkins said. "I will certainly be checking my bras every morning from now on."

That makes for a whole new variation on the Mae West line.

Gee, lady, is that a bat in your bra or are you just happy to see me?

You have a major point there. She has bats in her belfry but they are fruit bats, cute and completely harmless.

Some other good Mae West lines....

A hard man is good to find.

Good sex is like Bridge. If you don’t have a good partner you had better have a good hand.

When I’m good I’m really good. But when I’m bad I’m better.

I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.

I’ll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.

To err is human, but it feels divine.

When women go wrong, men go right after them.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

The instant I saw the Bat Boy headline, I knew one of y’all would have been the one to post it.

Somehow I suspect you have no photo of your Cali that is similar to this one. Interesting story, too!

that picture has nothing to do with the story, which is definitely feasible.
