Woman, 75, upsets neighbours by cooking topless

A 75-year-old woman has upset her neighbours in southern China by cooking topless on her apartment balcony.

Neighbours complained to local authorities about the woman who cooks topless even in icy weather on the balcony of her home in Dongguan.

The widow appeared to be polite and intelligent in all respects other than her tendency to remove her top before cooking out of doors, the Southern Metropolis News said.

The neighbourhood committee talked to the woman but she told them it was "nobody's business" how she dressed at home.

Explaining why she cooked topless, the woman reportedly quoted an old Chinese saying which goes: "Women over the age of 40 are like men."

"Women over the age of 40 are like men."

Wasn't there a Seinfield episode where George saw his old man not wearing a shirt??

You know about the rule regarding pictures? In this case, how about we amend that to "NO pictures, please". Just this once. For the good of humanity.

what's that old skit Benny Hill used to do... about an old waitress and him asking for condiments and other things. Each time the waitreess would pull the item from a different part of her uniform. When he asked for cream, she opened her...

you guessed it!

Hm... I don't know whether to be horrified that I have only 2 years and 2 months left of "womanliness"... or look forward to cooking topless in September '05.

75 years old? She's probably a 36 Long.

I don't know, there was a movie not too long ago that showed some Maggie Smith jug and they were ok. Better than 30 year old little doggie teats. It takes all kinds of humanity and it's attributes to make the world an interesting place.

An open mind is a good thing.

If they wanted the Chinese lady to stop, give her a frying pan along with a hugh supply of some series bacon.

That's when George, I believe, invented the "bro". LOL

Hey, I agree with this woman though. I can't stand seeing sloppy men with big guts with their shirts off. They shouldn't be allowed to do it. Ick. After all, breasts are just fat. A lot of them do need a bro. Gross.
