Joe: “I thought the compression shorts and tee were over the top for a guy who claimed to be a career-focused scholar not a jock, and, well when I saw the strap and cup you bought, alarm bells went off. This all looks just crazy!”

Bill, sullenly, looking at his feet not Joe: “I know!”

At this point, Bill knew that the “jig” was up and that he was going to have to come cleaner with Joe than he had done so far, because Joe was not buying the story line he had crafted, at least not completely buying it.

Bill; “Well, I guess you have a right to know a little more.” I was surfing the Web the other day and I found this Web paper by Sebbie called ‘Spending the Night in a Cup’.”

Joe: “That is certainly a strange title for a Web paper. What is it about for goodness sakes?"

Bill” Well, in it, Sebbie describes his experiences sleeping over night in a jock strap, cup and in compression gear.”

Joe: “What kinds of experience, anyway? That sounds just weird.”:

Bill: “Can’t you guess?”

Joe: “You mean…..?”

Bill: (looking down, not straight ahead) “Yup!”

Joe: “You mean that is where you got this loopy idea to go out to the sporting goods store and bring home the gear you said to me was going to be for workouts at the student gym?”

Bill (sheepishly, again staring down at his toes and avoiding Joe’s eyes): “Yup, but there is a little more to the story than you realize at this point. You see, a couple nights ago I had this crazy dream. It happened right after I had gotten done reading Sebbie’s ‘Cup’ paper.”

Joe: “What kind of dream?”

Bill: I would call it an erotic dream, but some of my friends in high school used to say they were actually ‘wet’ dreams. They are dreams with a sexy story line that lead to, well, you know…” Bill’s voice trailed off at the end of that sentence, and he started to look at his shoes again instead of at Joe…

Joe: “I think I do, yes. What happened in the dream?”

Bill: “Well, the kids in it were playing a crazy game they called funchball, it was like a goofy mixture of softball and soccer using funny balls and bats, with some crazy rules I am still trying to figure out.”

Joe: “That doesn’t sound very erotic or sexy for sure. Just a funny or weird game that err kids were playing.”

Bill: “Well, err, it wasn’t what the players were doing in the game that was erotic, it was what the players were WEARING?”

Joe: “What were the players wearing, anyway, that got you all hot and bothered?’

Bill: “For starters the female players were stuffed into really snug-fitting compression gear both tees and shorts, and you could see every bump in their anatomy clearly since the clothing fit like a second skin.”

Joe; “I can see why you might think that was a little sexy, especially if the playing gear fit really really skin tight.”

Bill: “But that is not the part of the dream that really got me hot and bothered.”

Joe: “It wasn’t?”

Bill “No it was the way the guys were dressed. Similar skin-tight compression tees and shorts but I could also see they were wearing protective gear underneath.”

Joe: “Protective gear? You mean….?” Joe’s voice trailed off.

Bill: Yup, it was as if Sebbie had dressed all the players himself, and they were all wearing regulation straps and cups and compression gear just like in Sebbie’s paper.”

Joe: “WOW! You mean like the stuff you bought today at the sporting goods store that you said was going to be your workout wear for the student gym?”

Bill: “Yup….” Again Bill’s voice trailed off and he started once again to stare at his shoes and not look into Joe’s face.

Bill: (haltingly and emotionally) “I was afraid to tell you the real story of what I was up to. I didn’t know what you would think of your roommate if you knew all of this with respect to what was going on with me.”

Joe (laughingly); “Well, I think no less of you. I am thankful that you feel that you can be candid with me as to what is going on with you. Why should I feel badly that I have this horny guy for a roommate?” (Joe laughs)

Bill: “Well, I am certainly glad that you feel that way and that you are not upset with me.”

Joe: “Maybe I need my own funchball uniform just for the fun of it. But I have no idea where this could lead for me. I might not get turned on at all”

Bill: Maybe I should first give you the link so you can read Sebbie’s “Cup” paper that started all of this for me.”

Joe; “I might like to read that for starters, yes.”

To all my readers: The day is young yet, and the only scheduled classes Bill and Joe have are late in the afternoon, 4:30-5:20 pm.
