DECLINE AND FALL

Th,e nasty details Of a flagrant case of wife swapping have just reached us; in the cause of a free press we feel compelled to publish. Certain details may offend, but the less sensitive may read on. | The participants in this bacchanalia are two couples in their later thirties who heartlessly left their respective children with their doting grand-par-ents and set off for the flesh pots of a small beach resort in the off season. Wife A and Husband B were active types who liked to walk and fish and play golf; Wife B and Husband A were less energetic and they enjoyed toiling about in the sun. reading and chatting and playing board games. This traumatic day, Wife A and Husband B decided on a particularly distant fishing spot and set off early

; | with their lunches and paraphernalia. i Wife B and Husband A sat in the i sun and played “scrabble” until late in ; (the morning when, like Pooh Bear, ' they felt in need of a “little some- ' thing.” So they investigated the pantry. ; ! And it was then that Wife B re- j vealed her secret desire. “I’ve always wanted to,” she said, j i i “and John’s never approved.” . “So have I,” confessed Husband A ; "and nor has Mary. Why don’t we, I while they’re away?” ii And so, tempted, they fell: ; J When wife A and Husband B re>i turned unexpectedly early they found their spouses lying languorously on lithe sofa, sated, each clutching a spoon rand an almost empty tin of condensed ' milk.
