		<description>When my dad started having serious health problems, he decided to fulfill some life-long materialistic dreams: to get a Rolex, and to get a full-size, wearable suit of armor. When Dad died, my brother got the Rolex; as soon as my mom is willing to give it up, the armor is mine. I think it&apos;s a fair deal.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The armor for ladies (please only really funny boob jokes, thx) looks incredibly uncomfortable. Wouldn&apos;t your boobs be all squished, or..?&lt;/i&gt;

I assume he builds them from measurements, so at least they should fit. That said, the top and bottom ones (without the metal tits) are the ones that look the most comfortable to me. They probably fit like a sports bra, which is to say, somewhat squished/uncomfortable, but not nearly as bad as the &lt;i&gt;your-boobs-are-forever-SEPARATE-BUT-EQUAL-now!&lt;/i&gt; look of the Deluxe one.</description>

		<description>Y&apos;know, I&apos;m thinkin&apos; some pitbulls are given very reasonable incentive to want to attack the people who own them. If not the heavy armor, then just the fact that the guy goes around shirtless saying things like &quot;Welcome to the gunshow...&quot;</description>

		<description>My dog doesn&apos;t wear armor, she is a Berserker. And like a furry, guided-missile, she will without fail, manage to nail you in the crotch when she leaps into your lap. 

The mere thought of adding mass to this painful experience makes me wince.</description>

		<description>Oh god.  Oh god oh god oh god.  Painful mental place.  

I have a Boxer.  She greets friends the same way the 1976 Flyers greeted their opponents.  The last thing she needs is to be &lt;i&gt;pointy&lt;/i&gt; while she does it.</description>
