bpoint("This lady, as I call her, was conveying herself by way of two-wheeled roller skates, and she was wearing a tiny pair of short pants, and a top which, although it completely covered her torso, was extremely revealing as to her form.");
bpoint("Well, she noticed that she had my attention, and behaved in a manner which I can only describe as provacative in the extreme.");
bpoint(ditto & "Do you want a closer look, Jack?" & ditto & " she asked (but my name is not Jack, nor John for that matter), and then she lifted her top, exposing the most disgusting protuberances.");
bpoint("Needless to say, I was shocked.");
bpoint("I quickly found a park warden and reported the vixen (I can't bring myself to call her a lady again).");
bpoint(ditto & "What, the one in the white spandex top?" & ditto & " he exclaimed.");
bpoint("I supposed that's what that material was, and he assured me that he would seek her out and speak to her about the matter.");
bpoint("It seemed to me that more severe handling was suggested by the circumstances, but he was eager to do the job, so I left him to it.");
