1. O U R FRIENDLY LITTLE FLIRTYFISHY was s m i l i n g s w e e t l y a t a l l the handsome w a i t e r s as u s u a l , when one i n p a r t i c u l a r apparently took a fancy t o her and decided t o b r i n g h e r h e r b r e a k f a s t i n bed one morning! Since we were a l i t t l e short o f money and hadn't been t i p ping very much, I encouraged our l i t t l e Flirty-Fishy to show him a l i t t l e extra affection, a l i t t l e pat on the hand or squeeze of the arm or peck on the cheek as his reward, showing appreciation worth a great deal more than money! 2. SO O N THIS PARTICULAR MORNING as she was u s h e r i n g him t o t h e door she l i g h t l y put h e r arm around him to give him a l i t t l e squeeze w h i l e d e c i d i n g whether t o a l s o add a peck on t h e cheek, when he suddenly s o l v e d t h e problem f o r h e r by g r a b bing h e r e a g e r l y and s t a r t i n g t o deep-kiss her while fervently rubbing h i s hardening you-know-what a g a i n s t h e r s o f t e n i n g you-know-what! 3 . A LITTLE FLUSTERED B Y THIS .SURPRISE ATTACK, she simply y i e l d e d for a moment, then began t o g e n t l y try t o g e t him t o cease and d e s i s t by s w e e t l y pushing him from h e r , s a y i n g , "No, no!", and p o i n t i n g t o her cheek i n s t e a d . But t o t h i s h e r e p l i e d , "Yes, y e s ! " , and c o n t i n u e d to persist in trying to kiss her on the mouth. while she continued to present her cheek. This however didn't seem to interest him, so he finally l e f t without further ado.

him a cheek, considering he'd already proved himself a little too cheeky, so she apparently decided to teach him a lesson!
6. B U T THIS S U D D E N C H A N G E of t a c t i c s from deep k i s s and ardent embrace to no k i s s and no embrace within 48 hours evidently backfired, as i t seemed to deeply hurt our s e n s i t i v e Aquarian w a i t e r ' s tender f e e l i n g s to such an e x t e n t that i t so cooled the r e l a t i o n s h i p that i t caused our l i t t l e F l i r t y - F i s h y to r e l e n t and f e e l very sorry for him. 7. SO SHE SQUIRMED UNCOMFORTABLY i n t h e new c h i l l y atmosphere o f c o l d water o u t o f her depth, b e i n g warned by t h e fisherman t h a t i t ' s always safer for the bait to s t a l l , postpone and say, "Not nowmaybe later". or "Wait", or " I ' l l see", so as to keep the fish interested but not lose him entirely, but also so as not to yield too easily and get gobbled up too soon! 8. HE MIGHT NOT APPRECIATE WHAT COMES TOO EASY, o r e v e n e n d a n g e r t h e bait. But i n t h e case of a f l a t "fJo_!" and sending him away with a c o l d shoulder and nothing at a l l he could even become angered and turn a g a i n s t you i n t o an unpleasant d i s i l l u s i o n e d and perhaps even dangerous enemyat l e a s t uncooperative, unhelpful and d e f i n i t e l y unfriendly!
