@drdan, mkilby

The version I’m familiar with is:

A guy is at a bar, and he is approached by a woman. She whispers in his ear, “For $100 I’ll do anything you can say in three words.” The guy reaches for his wallet, peels off the bill, slips it to her under the bar, then whispers to her, “Paint. My. House.”

thanks for that story, I figured the idea came to me from a monty python skit or something simular to a farmer getting a wife instead of a plowing horse

A year or two back Arlo asked for Irish stew as his winning wager and Janis was reduced to tears.

This is a guy who used a leaf blower to turn the bath into a jacuzzi. He’s imaginative and kinky, folks.

Hee he. Me too, thought it was definitely about sex but subtle enough to get past censors.

Oh JEEZ!!! LOL LOL — maybe you all should be sending your Arlo candidates directly to me.

Of course they are talking about sex. However I did not send it it. I thought it was ambiguous enough that it didn’t have to slip by a censor. So while it is definitely sexual in nature I thought it far to subtle to be an Arlo. BUT that is just MHO

Reminds me of the line in Cruel Intentions when Sarah Michelle Geller makes a bet with her step-brother and says “You can put it anywhere… “

@ drdan (4) - There’s an “iron curtain” era story about a young lady who owes (for whatever reason) a gentleman a big favor, and he says that he would like to have her for the entire night. When the woman (reluctantly) consents, he drops her off at a market, and asks her to stand in line to pick up his ration (of meat, bread, or whatever) in the morning. (I generalized the tale because I’ve read several different versions.)

Only if Nicole says she doesn’t see the Arlo in it will I believe it isn’t one.

This also isn’t the first time their super bowl wager has come up. Previously, Janis had said that if she won he’d have to clean out the gutters and he replied “You know I think we *both* have more fun when I win.”
