And the very handsome and obviously intelligent silver haired stranger followed. She sat on a bar stool at the other end of the bar and gnawed on the center knucle of her left hand, which was considerably SMALLER, than her right hand. The determined, and very smitten silver haired stranger takes the only empty bar stool beside the loverly maiden.

Whilst sitting there he devised a plan. 'Contact,' he thought to himself, all I need to do to show this lovely lady that I am hers is to make contact!'

Slowly, cautiously, he moved his knee close to hers, and every so softly made contact with her knee. SHE DID NOT MOVE HER KNEE!

He was encouraged!

He motioned to the bartender for another round. Elated at his successful contact with this ravishing creature that had so willingly accepted his knee pressing against hers he said, "Bartender, drinks for everybody!"

The bartender surveyed the room. Bob, Doug, the silver haired, very intelligent looking stranger, and the ravishing, buxom raven haired beauty seated next to the silver haired, very intelligent looking stranger, were the only customers in the Pub.

"So, you got twelve bucks on ya?"

The silver haired, very intelligent looking stranger paused, as he was about to take a sip of his Black and Tan and said to one and all, "I do!"

The bartender poured drinks all around.

The silver haired, very intelligent looking stranger, encouraged by the acceptance of his knee firmly implanted next to the buxom, ravishing beauty on the bar stool next to him, decided to make his next move.

He rested his left hand on the right knee of the buxom, ravishing beauty.

SHE MADE NO MOVE TO REJECT HIS SERIOUS ADVANCES!

He was encouraged.

The bartender pours drinks for the foursome, and the silver haired, very intelligent looking stranger decided to test the waters further. He SQUEEZED the knee of the buxom, ravishing beauty seated on the bar stool next to him. There was no reaction! Perplexed, he turned and gazed at the buxom, ravishing beauty and squeezed her knee harder. It was then that the silver haired, very intelligent looking stranger discovered that the beautiful, raven haired, buxom lady seated on the barstool next to him had a wooden leg!
