When I drove to the park the next morning a new sign was at the entrance leaning against the pole that held up the old sign:

"I'm only eighteen myself, Joe," I said when I got to the dock and saw everyone waiting for me. Darren and the other black guys were wearing loin cloths and that was it. Minnie had a bathing suit on which was a riot. It was pink, a little bit like the color of her skin but not a lot like it, and it had painted nipples on the top and black hair painted on the bottom where her your know what was supposed to be.
"Oh my God," I said, looking at her.
"Shut up, creep! You're gonna wear one, too," she said.
Minnie's suit was two piece but you couldn't call it a bikini because she was too fat for anything that small. Mine was a real bikini. It had painted nipples like hers but the hair painted on the bottom was blonde like the hair on my head. I put the suit on in the trailer and came out feeling like a complete dope while everyone looked at me and made comments that I was cute in it but you would have to be about two miles away not to realize I was wearing a bathing suit.
Joe rubbed his chin. I could see he was thinking. Then he told us to get in the boat and we headed for Cannibal Country. We had only that day to rehearse and get the show ready, he said, so he wanted us all to cooperate and do our best so we wouldn't disappoint the customers on our big opening.
Joe's idea for the show was pretty simple and also why it was going to be for adults only. When the boat got to Cannibal Country it would stop in the river. People would see the clearing with a big black pot sitting there and next to it a barbaque pit with a pole on top. All of a sudden two girls would come running out of the woods being chased by three cannibal black guys. The cannibals would catch the girls and pretend to have sex with them and then they would put one of the girls in the black pot, that would be Minnie, and the other girl would be tied up on the pole and put over the barbecue, and that would be me. The whole show was supposed to take fifteen to twenty minutes depending on how well the fake sex scenes went.
We were on the riverbank, having just left the boat, and I was feeling self conscious in my bikini with the guys looking at me, and I don't mean Darren. The other guys were Ben, who was a big guy and very muscular and Eric, who was a small, skinny guy with a big head and big white teeth. Darren was acting cool, like he could care less about chasing a couple of white girls around and pretending to screw them and cook them for a dinner but Ben and Eric were looking at me like I was piece of candy.
"Um, Joe, which guy is going to chase me and which guys are going to chase Minnie? That's number one, and number two is I don't think I want to be in a porn show and this sounds like a porn show to me."
Joe looked like I had offended him.
"Hey, I researched this. This is how cannibals act. This is going to an authentic theme park kind of ride. It's educational. It's the way cannibals are in the jungle, Elle."
"Hmmm." I didn't know what to say if he had researched it.
"You think there's rides like this anywhere else, bitch!?," Minnie said.
After Minnie made her nice comment to me Joe got us to stand in a line near the black pot while he went to the boat to see how we looked from there, which would be the same view the customers would have of us. I could tell he wasn't happy. He came back, stroking his chin and looking at me.
"Um, you know, this ain't really an adults only sort of situation the way it is, I mean with these here bathing suits, girls. Probably wouldn't even get an R, probably get a PG13 if it was a movie. Customers gonna complain if they pay forty bucks for an adults only show and they get PG13."
"Forty bucks!," Darren said.
"Yup. Gonna give each of you guys five bucks of that for every customer. Figure it out. If we got a full boat for each show, you guys would pick up two hundred fifty bucks a day just for these two rides."
"Customers gonna want to see somethin for forty bucks," Ben said, making the same point Joe was making, and I could see they were making it about me more than about Minnie.
"How about two somethins," Minnie said, lifting her big tits.
"Well, I think the bathing suits are the dumbest things I ever saw so I would just as soon not wear one anyway, to be honest," I said.
"Yeah?," Joe said.
"Yes. You don't see those girls in the National Geographic magazines wearing bathing suits. That magazine shows people being naked in the jungle and everyone thinks it's okay, being educational of course."
"Exactly."
"The guys should take theirs off, too. It's only fair," Minnie said.
Hmmmm, Minnie did have a point for a change, I thought to myself. I actually had been wondering about Ben who seemed to have something really big in his loin cloth. There was only one thing that worried me.
"If they're going to do what Minnie says, they just better be careful when they pretend to screw us. I'm not going to be in a darn sex show! I already told you that, Joe," I said.
"Right, right," Joe said. "You guys have to be careful with the girls."
To make a long story short, Joe decided we didn't need to rehearse. He thought the show would be good if we just did it spontaneously. The only thing we practiced was having the guys tie me up on the pole and put me over the barbecue pit. The first time they did it, the ropes came loose and I almost fell in but Ben grabbed me just in time. I was still wearing my suit and Ben was still wearing his loin cloth. While he held me I felt his bulge against me. I guess he saw my jaw drop when I felt it.
"That's my nine inches, Elle babe," he bragged.
It wasn't very gentlemanly of Ben to be having an erection at that moment, but I wasn't mad.
