"And then, I heard, she took on three more guys, one right after the other," Ron reported to his fellow poker players.
"Sounds like a hell of a party! Of course, nothing like that ever happened at any of the bachelor parties I've attended, babe," Lee grinned, turning to accept a fresh beer from his wife, Carole.
"Hell of a party is right!" Frank agreed. "How could she handle so many guys, one right after the other, like that?!"
"She was a pro, Frank. She got paid to take them all on," Ron reminded him.
"That stripper may have done it for the money, but a woman can easily handle several men at a time. On the other hand, a man can't handle several women at a time," Carole kibitzed, as she wiped off her newly emptied serving tray.
"Could you handle several men, one right after the other, Carole?" Jack challenged. At thirty, he was the oldest and most outspoken male in the group. He loved baiting Lee's equally outspoken wife and couldn't pass up an opportunity like the one she had just presented.
"And Carole, the Queen Bee, gets to be the center of attention, once again!"
Paul thought to himself in amusement, as he shielded his cards and looked up at her.
"But, at least, this time it should be interesting."
Carole was far from being the shy, retiring type, so the guys weren't particularly careful about their subject matter, when it was Lee's turn to host their weekly poker night. And, anyway, Lee's wife enjoyed hostessing their games.
"Sure I could, if I wanted to," Carole replied evenly, looking Jack straight in the eye.
"And she takes the bait," Frank chuckled under his breath.
"Hook, line, and sinker,"
Paul mentally agreed with him.
"Right! But let me guess, Carole, you wouldn't want to!" Jack taunted. "And that's just another way of saying you couldn't bring yourself to do it."
"It would be easy, Jack," Carole contended. "Any sexually experienced woman could do it, if she wanted to. It wouldn't be a big deal."
"Right!" Jack scoffed.
"It wouldn't be that big of a deal, for a sexually experienced woman," Carole insisted, tossing back her shoulder-length mane of perfectly coiffured hair. "It really wouldn't."
"No, of course, it wouldn't," Jack deadpanned.
"Right," Frank doubtfully chimed in.
"Why do you guys think it would be such a big deal?" Carole asked indignantly. "It would be very easy for a sexually experienced woman, if she wanted to do it. After all, the guys do all the work."
By then, Carole had everyone's undivided attention, including her husband's.
"Lee's eyes are as big as saucers!"
Paul observed.
"It looks like he's getting really turned on by all this sex talk."
"So, any woman could do it, even if she weren't a pro?" Ron asked skeptically.
"Any sexually experienced woman could do it," Carole corrected.
"And you're a sexually experienced woman, are you?" Jack teased.
Placing an affectionate hand on her husband's shoulder, Carole cooed, "What do you think, hon? Do you think I'm a sexually experienced woman?"
"Oh, she's sexually experienced, all right!" Lee readily concurred. "I've seen to it personally!"
Carole smugly raised her head and looked around the table, while the rest of the guys hooted and hollered.
"I believe it! They do it just about every night, according to Lee,"
Paul remembered.
"He's one lucky guy!"
In her mid-twenties, with a pretty face, medium-blonde hair, and a curvy figure, all the guys thought Carole was a hottie. Her derrière may have belonged on a black girl, according to Jack, but Lee insisted it was her third best feature, after her face and perky rack. None of the guys disagreed.
When everyone quieted down, Jack locked eyes with Carole and continued, "What I meant was: Are YOU sexually experienced enough to take on four guys, one right after the other, just like the girl at that party?"
"Yes, Jack, I'm sexually experienced enough," Carole replied confidently. "It would be easy."
"But, like I said, you wouldn't want to," Jack asserted.
"That doesn't mean I couldn't do it," Carole objected.
"Coulda, woulda, shoulda," Jack chanted. "It's not like we all haven't heard talk like that before, Carole. You're all talk. And, like they say, talk is cheap." Looking around the table, Jack pleaded, "Come on, guys, please, let's play cards."
"Like I said, Jack, it would be very easy, whether you believe me, or not," Carole still disputed.
"She's not going to let it go, Jack," Ron sighed. "I'm sorry. I thought I could tell that story here without anyone making a big deal about it."
The guys chuckled and Carole protested, "I'm not making a big deal out of you telling your story, Ron. You know that. What I'm saying is that what the stripper did at that party wasn't such a big deal."
"No, she's not going to let it go,"
Paul realized.
"And Lee is hanging on her every word. My gawd, his eyes are glazed over!"
"Okay, Carole, we get it. We really do. What the stripper did at that party wasn't a big deal," Jack sighed. Rearranging his cards, he ended, "Now, can we, please, get back to our game?"
"Yes, Jack, I think I've made my point," Carole huffed. "Go back to your card game."
As she helped herself to a potato chip, Jack smiled.
"Please, Jack! Please don't tease her about her diet!"
Paul silently prayed.
"We'll never get back to the game if you get her started on that!"
It was a running joke that Carole was perpetually going on a diet, tomorrow, to lose a couple of extra pounds she claimed she carried around her waist. Jack looked knowingly at the guys, winked, but remained silent.
