to let the mind wander....
Back when I moved into my then-new house, several years ago, I was invited to the country club pool where they were having a clothes optional pool party. This was for adults only, mind you. This country club had an adult only pool as well as an all ages pool. The adult only pool had several bars, different waterfalls, levels, and even a couple grottos. It was quite the fancy affair, for a fancy neighborhood with armed guards at the gates and occasional armed helicopters flying overhead when we had distinguished guests among us.
So anyway, back to the pool party, I was a bit shy about going to one of these clothes optional parties. I decided to see my doctor and ask him if he had anything to make me, well, "enhanced". Doc laughed and said he was fresh out of "enhancers" or pumps, however, he did have a prosthetic piece I could wear around which would help with my shyness. He did warn me with a chuckle not to get it wet.
So when I emerged from the country club locker room the evening of the party, wearing only a smile and my prosthesis, everything was fine. So fine in fact that I was making my way from party to party, making friends and having drinks. Soon enough I got into the pool with a few supermodels to cool off and swim up to the poolside bar for another drink. Once I decided to get out of the pool I had the strange sensation that every person there had stopped talking at once and was looking directly at me.
At this point I vaguely remember that the Doc had warned me not to get wet. So imagine my surprise when I looked down and discovered that my prosthetic piece had grown very very large..... and turned completely black.
