That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 27, 2019

King Candaules thinking he might order a pizza instead and just call it a night.

“But you do not leave, I don’t think Mr. Goodman is going to take a long time.”

Wow. I didn’t know Harvey Weinstein was around that long.

Oh my stars in heaven I’d look stunning in that dress!

The owner of that football team is ahead of you, you’ll have to wait a few minutes…

You want the truth? The naked truth? You can’t handle the truth, mister, at least not until you gild my lilies.

“Of course the bed looks like a proscenium, dahling—that way you can be anyone you want to be. And so can I.”

“One minute 35 seconds. That’s a new record. I don’t know why I bothered to undress.”

“Leave your money on the table and take a seat. The next show starts in a few seconds.”

“But it see your “Lil’ Patriot” is ALREADY standing at attention…

“Thank you for changing your mind about that ‘property of hell’s angels’ tat.”

So, this painting is called ‘Happy Endings’ ?

“Gronk and 4 linemen are before you. If you get tired of waiting there are some girls down on the corner.”

Barricading the door fuax pas; wife suddenly realizes the door swings the other direction.

“I hate nudity…. it always makes me breathe funny …”

I don’t get that one at all. It looks like the woman is arriving, not “Mr. Kraft.”

That was fast.

" Sorry to interrupt, but checkout time was at noon."

The original peeping tom…

“Once a King, always a King. Once a ‘knight’ is (evidently) enough.” (Burning the Candaules at both ends ?)
