“Mind if I take over the score sheet?”
“Hey!..Oh, okay…
…Put do you mind if I put my underwear back on first?”
…Just make sure you give it a good spanking…it’s been naughty.”
…But you can’t let the monkeys see it…” John looked around, then leaned closer and whispered desperately, “…because if the monkeys find out the score, they’ll kill us all!”
…I’m running late for my bikini waxing anyway.”
…It’s not like I have no other purpose here. It’s not like the only reason I got invited is cos my Dad owns the bowling alley and he gave us a discount and extra game.

“And then it hit me, like the hot kiss at the end of a wet fist.”
