A plastic surgeon was called in to fix the damage and took the opportunity to increase the size of Mrs Soares' breasts with more silicone.

She said: "I'm twice happy, first because my prosthesis saved my life and also because now I look even more beautiful."

LOL! Life hands her lemons, and she's off looking for somebody to squeeze her some fresh lemonade.....

Did the druggies get, er, busted?

This reminds me of the incident which happened in L.A., I think, about ten years ago where a lady was shot in the butt, but the spandex pants that she was wearing stopped the bullet. That must be some serious booty.

She told Las Ultimas Noticias newspaper that even though she tried to hide, a bullet hit her in the chest.

The picture of this I'm seeing is hilarious. Can you picture it? (HINT: How big is the tree?)
