After years of feeling disappointment about her breasts and never getting as many up-votes as her friend Angela on r/GoneWild, Julie decides she needs implants.
So she went to see Dr. Smith about enlarging her tiny breasts. Dr. Smith told her, "I'll do it, but there may be another way with no downtime in recovery! Every day after your shower rub your chest and say, "Scooby doobie doobies, I want bigger boobies."
She did this faithfully for several months and it worked! She grew terrific D-cup boobs! One morning she was running late, got on the bus and in a panic realised she had forgotten her morning ritual.
Frightened she might lose her lovely boobs if she didn't recite the little rhyme, she stood right there in the middle aisle of the bus closed her eyes and said, "Scooby doobie doobies, I want bigger boobies."
A guy sitting nearby looked at her, "By any chance, are you a patient of Dr. Smith's?" "Why, yes I am... How did you know?" He leaned closer, winked and whispered, "Hickory dickory dock..."
