Hey, where did the phrase "pear-shaped" come from?

Aimée, the first time I heard "pear-shaped"* was in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I don't know if it's a general Britishism or if it's something Adams came up with.

 *Outside of, you know, describing the general shape of a pear.

Hee. I was surprised I hadn't heard the breast exam story locally so I checked the Miami Herald, and there it was. [link] Yep, I would have kicked his ass too.

Dear building,

Yes I know it was chilly today, way down into the 40s, but we really do not need FULL HEAT on.

Thanks.
