Maniple

In the Western Church: a strip of material suspended from the left arm near the wrist, worn as one of the Eucharistic vestments. (OED)

The left side is sinister. The Eucharist is male body. 

It is possible for men to produce breast milk. Galactorrhea
A shirtless man wearing an eyepatch and signing his checks left-handed cannot be trusted. Especially in church. He might be tempted to give Mary a rest--cradle the baby Jesus for a while. Hunker down in all those robes.

It seems like there are more triple nipples (thirples) on men than on women.

It should be strongly suggested that all
thirples be pierced, or at least displayed frequently (perhaps using body crayons for emphasis).

A man
with a nipple on his foot must be uncomfortable. Foot-nipples are unhappy-making.

MaNIPulate.
Shield. Alas, poor Janet.

Grace Jones sang "Nipple to the Bottle," although I never heard it. But also "Warm Leatherette," which is sort of hard to actually dance to but easy to throw attitude at.  She was also on "Election Day." I did like Arcadia's record when it came out--more than the Powerstation (and that made me sad because John Taylor was my favorite).

We would most likely know if Grace Jones had three nipples.
