Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 10, 2021

…or two snowballs?

Don’t sell yourself short, Janis! Snort Wheeze Pant

Polaroid pictures, or it didn’t happen.

She came in first on Arlo’s scorecard.

Why, what happened? Wasn’t your t-shirt wet enough?

Come on, this is like a short-term memory quiz. It was only last year.

While searching for contests I found a couple chuckles:

There was also a Guess Arlo’s Age contest which awarded t-shirts to the winners but that was in 1996, 25 years ago!

I know I would have needed more snow in my snowballs.

This is where you appreciate her snowballs, Arlo :)

A wet t-shirt contest isn’t always about the size……..women get lots of points for perkiness. Or should I say women get lots of perks for points?:-)

Though we share so many secrets

There are some we never tell

Billy Joel – The Stranger

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies…. Fleetwood Mac

Must make nice. Women deserve respect if for no other reason out of fear. “Lord of the Flies” was required reading for many of my youth. I for one did not care for it but I found a quote I liked from the author, Sir William Golding: “I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men. They are far superior and always have been. Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she will give you a baby. If you give her a house, she will give you a home. If you give her groceries, she will give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she will give you her heart. She multiples and enlarges whatever is given to her. So if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!”

It seems that Janis was quite the exhibitionist in her younger days.

Could you go back in time so we could judge it for ourselves?

Well, be fair, it was won by someone named “Dolly”…

No matter how much to and your spouse talk, you will never know everything about each other. There is always something you hold back out of fear, embarassment, ridicule, or something else.

I prefer snowballs over bowling balls.

Many years ago a friend of mine ran a bar and decided to do a “WET T-SHIRT” contest. I can not remember the Grand Prize Amount to the Winner was, but it was several hundreds of dollars. Most of the local young ladies entered, but there was one lady there who looked innocent and just nursed a small drink. When all the ladies got up on stage, I noticed she did not. The owner asked if any others would like to try out, several guys kept asking the lady if she would enter. Her answer was “Oh no, I don’t have a chance.” To which a couple of guys asked if she would like another drink, which she said yes…..after a few drinks, and several guys trying to get her to enter, she said she would try out. Well she joined with the other girls and acted so innocent but yet a little tipsy. After the local girls were wet down, it was her turn. Once she got her t-shirt wet, this young lady put on a show which was close to closing the bar down. Very Seductive. Naturally she won the contest and got her money and “had to sign some forms for the money.” Most of the guys left along with the local girls. I talked to the owner later and mentioned just how that innocent girl got so drunk and put on a show. My friend told me, she was a ringer that he had hired from Sammy’s which was 120 miles away. She was a paid dancer who knew how to get guys to buy drinks (which she got a take,) plus act innocent and drunk enough to win the contest. Sorry for the long story, but this could be why Janis (as she puts it "did not stand a snowballs chance.)

Is that a size reference?

Well Janis, the point is you tried, and hopefully you had a lot of fun!I think Arlo still has the happy memories. Ah youth! Sigh!

She just wanted to titillate.

My husband and I never talk in bed at night. We both do things to relax so we can sleep. Puzzles or light reading work great.

They look bigger than snowballs…

Anything more than a snowball is a waste.

Arlo knows that snowball sized are just the right size.

Best contests are when the headlights come on….or there’s a sudden chill in the air.

The wife of one my friends…..She was in college & Playboy was in town. They were looking for co-eds to pose for the “Girl’s of”…..insert what ever sport conference her university belonged to.Her roommate wanted to try out. She begged my friends eventual wife to come with her.Well, the roommate didn’t make the cut. However, they asked the eventual wife if she wanted to pose. Like Janis in today’s strip she had a what the hell moment & agreed.She was in the Playboy issue. They also gave her a professional grade photo of the picture. She told her boyfriend, eventual husband about the magazine. After they married & had kids the picture was locked up until the children had moved out. Then the picture was again hung on the wall. The photo was of the perspective of shot toward her back, wearing bikini bottom, top over her shoulder. She was smiling turning her face toward the camera.By today’s standards fairly tame PG-13 photo. My friend & his wife take pride in the picture. She’s a grandmother now & she takes pride in how nice she looked in college.

What’s worse is when one’s spouse starts telling a story about when they were young and it is actually a story about you that you told them – and they insist it happened to them!! My husband does this to me – and I am not sure why – his stories about when he was young are much better than mine. I keep waiting for him to tell me the story about when he was jumping on his parents bed while on vacation and he landed on the floor and broke his collar bone – this is my story, but sooner or later I know he will insist it was him.
