Prompt: 

Word Limit: 210-220

Key Words: knot, naught

Forbidden Words: face

Never date a female sailor.  Trust me..  I would tell you why, but it’s a little too personal.  Okay… I’ll say this.  They know how to tie a knot. And they won’t hesitate to use that skill to um… have their way with you!  

Not that I am clear on exactly what happened.  I was in the bar on the beach near the naval base, and there were a lot of off-duty military men and women dancing and singing and celebrating… something.  I was meeting a friend, but he didn’t show up.  So I got to talking with this woman. She was way out of my league gorgeous…a sailor.  She leaned in close so I could hear her, and I got a look down her top and.., okay i’m a sucker for big boobs. She caught me and said I had to drink a shot. I can drink a shot and be none of the worse for it but… I kept getting in trouble (looking and touching) and she kept prescribing my penance.  And I wasn’t sorry.   I was hoping it wouldn’t be for naught and we’d somehow end up somewhere more private.  Be careful what you wish for… and don’t drink with a sailor unless you want to wake up… well… trust me on this.
