A plastic surgeon would have been useful

Email conversation with a friend of mine last night:

 Friend:
Reading your blog reminded me, to let you know that my brother has a jewelry business at __________. So if you ever want or need anything, you don't have to pay __________ prices. ….

 Me:
you dont have a brother who is a plastic surgeon by any chance?

 Friend:
would I have a fat arse and double chin if I had a brother who was a plastic surgeon?????

 Me:
my brother is a barman.*  which is nice, but you know, that boob op thing would have been better

 *My brother is not really a barman, he runs a very popular bar / club / venue thing in London. But they don’t do boob ops there. He did however send me a wireless router in the mail yesterday, so although I have small, sad boobs, I do have wireless connection in my house. He is not totally without use.  He is actually my favourite brother in the whole world. Only. But favourite anyway.

ok, now I'm just confused. I'm sure I remember you saying "Plastic shit," when talking about your boobs not working at nursing the twins. I thought that meant you had fake ones. But then there was the whole Rose getting breast reduction thing and I thought you said you had it done when you were young, too. Now you're saying yours are sad and small. So what's the story anyway? One would assume that either way, yours would be perky and the perfect size...

LOL - my ex-brother-in-law is one. More reconstructive than plastic, mind you, in the sense that he'd rather fix a person without a nose than a person with an imperfect nose...

Not that it matters, or bears any relevance, but my sister is a hairdresser and I still have crap hair because she lives on the other side of the country, and I am too broke from IUI's to see anyone else. *sigh*

My brother is a plastic surgeon, both reconstructive and cosmetic. But anytime anyone he knows, including family members, ask about a friends and family discount or about a particular procedure, he maintains he wouldn't work on anyone he knew, and that "you don't need anything done except diet and exercise." So even being related to a plastic surgeon doesn't get you anywhere sometimes.

My brother runs a janitorial service - if you ever have a leaky toilet at work or need a cleaning crew at the office, just ask me.

Otherwise, he's pretty worthless. Thank goodness he married a great gal who can keep him honest!
