[The Suburbs, late 1950's]
Joe: "Listen, doll, I had no choice."
Mary: "No choice, huh? That's not what I heard."
Joe: "Who'd you hear that from?"
Mary: "Linda."
Joe: "Mary? Oh, doll, you know you can't believe her! She inflates everything."
Mary: "Okay, well, what did happen?"
Joe: "Well, as you know, we were playing poker over at Bill's place and his wife Marge was there. Now, I only got eyes for you, but Marge is a real looker. She's tall, blonde, and curvy. She was wearing a white checkered dress like that purple dress of yours. It buttoned up the front, had long sleeves, fit her tight on the top and flared from the waist. I couldn't help but notice that she has wonderful gams, from what I could see at the time. Wonderful calves.
Mary: "Well, I'm glad you think she's pretty."
Joe: "Oh, Mary, honey, nobody can hold a candle to you. Legs, hips, breasts, face, hair. You're perfect. I'm just saying that she's a handsome woman. Anyway, we're playing poker and Marge is bringing us old fashioneds and lighting our cigarettes. Y'know, just like your purple dress, hers has a V neck and, well, when she bends over, we could all get an eye full."
Mary: "How full?"
Joe: "Well, I won't lie to you. Pretty full. Well, Marge told Bill to be sure and get the empty glasses on the tray when she went back into the kitchen. So, we're all givin' Bill a hard time about he's hen pecked, has to do what his wife says. Well, we'd had quite a few and Bill got all steamed up about that and said, 'I don't do what she says. She does what I say.' Well, the guys all laughed at him for that so Bill said, 'I'll prove it to you. I'll tell Marge to pick up our glasses.' Well, we obviously all booed that. Who cares about picking up glasses? We wanted him to get her to do something that she might not want to do."
Mary: "And what was that?"
Joe: "Well, Bill came up with this idea, maybe with some help from us."
Mary: "I can't help but see you grinning."
Joe: "Well, yeah, we were pulling one over on ole Bill. We didn't expect it to go as far as it would."
Mary: "And how far did it go?"
Joe: "Well, let me tell you what happened. Marge comes back in the room and is picking up the glasses and Bill says, 'Darn, I'm out of money.'
"And then Johnnie says, 'Well, maybe you can ask your wife to help you.'
"'Sure, honey, can you help us out?'
"Well, Marge looked hard at her husband and said, 'Well, of course, dear, if you want me to, but I'm no good at poker.'
"Bill was really on a roll. He said, 'I told these guys that you're my wife and you'll do what I say. You swore an oath to obey and you're a good girl and take that seriously.' You could have heard a pin drop. Bill thinks he's winning with his girl and with us. He's got a big grin on his face when he says to the rest of us, 'If you win the hand, Marge'll sit on your lap for the next hand.' I gotta tell you, doll, you could have flown a plane through Marge's mouth, her jaw dropped so far. She just stood there while her husband played cards, that stupid smile on his face. Well, Johnnie won the hand and we all waited to see what would happen. Bill looked over at his wife who was standing there, ramrod straight, her mouth in a thin line now, her hands in those gloves held together in front of her. So he looks over there and he says, 'Well, doll, I guess you gotta sit on Johnnie's lap.'
"We waited. Marge looked at her husband then looked at us. We thought she'd call bull and maybe even slap her husband. Instead, she suddenly smiled real big and walked over to Johnnie. Johnnie's a real gentleman and stood up and I think he was going to call the whole thing off but Marge pushed him back down, dropped down in his lap, grabbed Johnnie's drink and cigarette from in front of him and sat there, looking cool as a cucumber. She took a sip and then a drag and Bill's smiling like he'd won all the money not just lost his wife's respect. Johnnie looked up at Marge and well I guess he figured he should take advantage of of the situation. He put one of his hands right on Marge's hamhock. Marge, for her part, just wiggled her ass into that hand. Bill smiled, Marge smiled."
Mary: "I bet Joyce wouldn't have smiled."
Joe: "Well, you'll have to bring it up to his wife if you'd like but this is supposed to all be top secret, babe, so let Johnnie tell her if he wants to. Anyway, we played the hand and Marge got up. She looked back at Johnnie with a smile on her face as she went back into the kitchen. We needled Bill a little more and he's on the defensive when Marge comes back with one of those big glass pitchers, a glass stirrer, a glass of olives on those little toothpicks and a half dozen glasses, one for each of us and one for herself. 'Any of you boys want a vodka martini?' Well, we all said we would and she went around the table making certain we could get an eyeful of her big perfect ass -- not as perfect as yours -- and her knockers down the top of her dress.
"On cue, Bill says, 'Oh, honey, I'm out of money again. You'll help me out again, won't you?'
"Marge downed her martini in one gulp then made herself another one, 'Sure, hon, you're my husband. What can I do?'
"'Yeah, boys, what does she need to do? Sit on the winner's lap again?'
"That's when Johnnie struck. Hmmm. Maybe you
should
talk to Joyce about this cause Johnnie says, 'I think we need more than that.' We all looked at him. This wasn't part of the plan. 'She should lose her dress first.' We all thought for sure that Bill would object but he just looked at his wife, who, frankly, looked horrified, and then he smiled.
"'That sounds fair,' Mr. husband-of-the-year said, 'Let's play.' Well, long story short, Richard won. So we all looked at Bill who just smirked at his wife. We looked at Marge. Well, that blonde bombshell started unbuttoning her dress. She got down to just below her waist and and let it drop and stepped out of it, one leg first then the other. She was wearing a silk slip with a lace edge and one of those lace bras that look like traffic cones. Boy, it really showed off her knockers. She has one of those flat stomachs. Hard to believe that she's had so many kids. She walked right over to Richard and sat on his lap, crossed one leg over the other, put her arm around his neck so her tits were right in Richard's face and took a sip of his martini, cool as a cucumber.
"Well, we went back to playing the game and Bill said, 'Same stakes.'
"Johnnie said, 'What same stakes? Marge already took off her dress.'
"'Her slip then.' I couldn't believe what Bill was saying. I wondered how far this would go.
"'Bill Rockford, I am not taking off my slip in front of your friends.' We'd found Marge's limit it seemed.
"Bill looked confused -- I think he had way too much to drink by now -- so Johnnie kept on, 'What ya gonna take off then?'
"Marge looked at her husband in disgust and said, 'My bra.' Well, the whole room erupted in cheers with a couple of 'hubba hubba's' thrown in. Marge blushed but kept her back straight and took another sip of Richard's martini to hide her smile. Bill smiled too, continuing to think he was proving to us what a strong man he is. Well, we played the hand and, surprising to me, I won."
Mary: "You seem pretty smug about that."
Joe: "Well, I mean... that is... You gotta understand, doll. There were all of us there. If I'd tried to get out of it, all the guys would have said you had my balls in a jar."
Mary: "Well, we wouldn't want that."
Joe: "Yeah, doll, you understand. Anyway, Marge stands up and reaches behind her back, then says, 'Gentlemen would avert their eyes when a lady's disrobing.' Well, everybody, I mean I think it was everybody, my eyes were closed of course, closed their eyes. We heard some rustling then I felt Marge's weight on my leg. She grabbed both my hands and then put them on her hips. She's got some nice hips, hon, not as good as yours though, and she had that silk slip on them. Then she pulled my hands up over the soft skin of her slim hips then up her ribs and finally pulled them to cup her tits. She's got nice tits, hon, not as nice as yours though. They were soft and round and filled my hands. I squeezed them a bit. Her nipples were rock hard against my palms. Finally, Marge says, 'You can open your eyes.' Everybody stared at us. I think I might have been smiling like the cat who ate the canary. 'Well, a lady can't have her tatas out,' Marge said, cool as a cucumber. We all just sat there.
"'Makes sense.' Johnnie finally interrupted the awkward silence and started dealing again. I couldn't move my hands, of course. I didn't want to expose the poor lady. Marge understood and helped me out. She helped me take a sip of my drink and a drag of my cigarette and then held my cards. I didn't even need to draw, I had four aces. 'Same stakes?' Johnnie asked.
"'Sure.' Bill was slurring his words.
