101 Things to do with a Naked Girl



I turned over. My head felt heavy, as if it had suddenly filled up with water. And it wasn't just any old water. Hey, it was heavy water!

Suddenly I sat up. Hold on. Where am I? What happened last night? And who is that sleeping in my bed?

She turned over and made a few snuffling noises.

I lifted the bedclothes and looked at her.

Suddenly she woke up, and peered up at me from under a great tangle of golden hair. "Ummmm" she said in a sort of warm furry way.

"Gosh, there's a girl in my bed. How nice."

She snuggled up to me.

"In fact there's a naked girl in my bed." I reached over and switched on the light.

"Ugghhh!" she squealed, "What did you do that for?"

"I've got a handbook here somewhere."

"Handbook? What handbook? What do you want a handbook for?"

"Yes, it's here somewhere and I need it."

"At this time of night. For god's sake what is it?"

"It's called 101 things to do with a naked girl."
