I couldn't tell if it was a hypnotism act gone bad or a comedy act that went right but what happened next simply seemed wrong. I should have figured that if I sat up near the front of the stage with my wife one of us would be called up as a "volunteer." When the spotlight fell on my table I cringed, but then let out a sigh of relief when the "hypnotist" chose my wife as one of the people he'd try to hypnotize, try being the key word.
I'm not sure if it was planned that way but for the last act of his show, the hypnotist managed to get all women volunteers. He then went into his routine as he hammed it up with the women. They were all part of a group of experienced and retired teachers. Note: I didn't say old. Anyway the hypnotist, understanding most of the women had been married for many years played up on what, for many of us, had become a pretty sparse sex life.
The ladies seemed to play along until the man started his hypnotic ritual. It seemed none of them were affected in any way. Now he finished his routine, then stated all of the women were hypnotized. Of course every one shook their head, "No," when the announcer said they were all asleep. He then gave them all a hypnotic suggestion saying, "Now ladies, when your husband speaks the phrase, 'Wow things are really looking up,' you will become his loving sexual slave. Then when he snaps his fingers three times you will forget anything that happened. You got that?"
Oh the wives had a lovely time with that laughing loudly and proclaiming, "That will be the day." Yeah, like I said, hypnotism gone bad or perhaps some silly comedy. Anyway, the hypnotist packed up his stuff and our group headed back to the bus for the short ride to our hotel. By the time my wife and I made it back to our room we were so worn out that we quickly showered and went to bed. It had been probably six months since the last time we had sex and hypnotist or no that was the last thing that came to mind.
It was the following morning while sipping coffee I thought some about the act. Yeah pretty funny stuff. There was a knock at the door and when my wife opened it an very attractive woman stepped in carrying her cleaning supplies. As she slipped into the bathroom to begin cleaning my wife gave me a look and I nodded, confirming how hot the housekeeper looked.
I was about to let it drop when, out of the blue, I spoke the phrase the hypnotist mentioned the night before, "'Wow things are really looking up."
