My self confidence returned slowly. I was in the best shape of my life. The business was making good money. Celeste continued to welcome me into her bed. I didn't feel like such a loser.
But the thing I felt best about was an improvement in the way women treated me. Beautiful young women started making eye contact. Sometimes they flirted. I didn't feel confident enough to ask them out - yet - but I began to imagine that someday soon I'd be able to date multiple women and enjoy them all. It was nice to think about that as I did paperwork in my office.
I was particularly pleased that Jack was doing better. The conditions of his court-ordered rehab program were severe, but he didn't seem to mind much because he was so engrossed in his latest project. The boat he was building was bigger than anything he'd attempted previously. He did all the work himself, during periods when he wasn't busy fixing or upgrading boats for customers. He worked long hours, and the boat quickly began to look like a boat.
I was thinking about what we'd do when the boat was finished. We needed a way to tell the world that an innovative new catamaran suitable for long voyages was available for purchase. I imagined that we'd buy some ads in sailing magazines, but that's expensive. My idea was to find some clever way to promote the new boat on social media. Take some nice pictures. Get some video of the boat slicing through the waves. Hire some pretty girls to pose on the boat.
Maybe it's because I was thinking about promoting the boat at the same time I was thinking about improving my sex life. For whatever reason, I came up with the wildest idea I've had in my life. I thought, and thought, and thought.
"Damn. This could actually work," I realized.
That night after I locked up the store, I wandered back to the shop to talk to Jack.
"Hey buddy, I've been thinking about what we'll have to do to let people know why they should buy this boat," I said.
"Better you than me," Jack said. "I'm terrible with that kind of stuff. If God had intended for me to come up with ad campaigns, he would not have invented Burt Olsen."
It was nice to hear Jack cracking jokes again.
"I've got an idea that might work," I said. "It wouldn't cost too much, and I think it would reach the customers we need to reach. And there's something else I particularly like."
I paused. Jack looked at me patiently. "How long are you going to make me wait before you tell me?" he said.
"I believe I've come up with a way to get us both laid. A lot. By a large number of beautiful young babes," I said.
Jack laughed. "Be more specific with this 'large number' thing."
"Dozens. Dozens of babes."
"Really? We're going to get laid by dozens of babes?"
"I believe so, yes."
"You sound serious," Jack said.
"Totally. That's why I came back here to tell you about it."
"So tell me," Jack said. "You have my complete attention."
My idea was simple. I proposed that we use the new boat to make an island-hopping trip around the Caribbean. That would prove it was a seaworthy vessel capable of taking folks to beautiful, exotic locations. Guys who think about buying boats have this idea that it will transport them into a fantasy land of sunshine, sea breeze, and half-naked babes. The advertising for new boats almost always contains images of those three things.
The idea was to come up with a web-based campaign that promoted the trip in advance, then followed our progress as the trip progressed. We'd take pictures during the voyage. We'd show ourselves in beautiful places like Bermuda and Jamaica. We'd include descriptions of things in a way that emphasized the advances of this particular catamaran, which would be faster, easier to sail, safer, more comfortable, and less expensive.
An important feature would be pictures of pretty models. That would help guys imagine that the boat would be a babe magnet.
"That all sounds great, but I didn't hear anything about getting laid," Jack said.
I explained that part to Jack, who was quiet for a long time.
"Wow. That might actually work," he said.
"Might work? I guarantee it will work," I said. "Before you know it, we're going to be neck-deep in prime pussy."
"There's an interesting image. It will give me something to think about as I build this thing," Jack said.
"It will take a lot of work, but there's no way to get the word out that doesn't involve lots of work," I said.
"There's one good thing," Jack said.
"What?"
