The stranger grinned at me and chuckled again knowingly. It seems that both my hands had quietly popped off and were crawling down the bar toward the attractive woman in the breasty, low cut blouse at the end\u2026the one I was too shy to approach earlier. I didn\u2019t know what they planned but I could just imagine what MY brainless hands might like to do with HER. That\u2019s when I noticed the stranger\u2019s collar \u2013 bolted tightly \u2018round his neck. It looked positively medieval but locked his wayward head soundly to his torso. &#8216;How clever?!&#8217; I thought.<\/p>\n<p>The barkeep wiped up my spilled beer with a lovely pair of shapely, ladies arms \u2013which did NOT match the rest of his otherwise burly, tattooed frame.
