"No Matter What They Say" By Mat Twassel (Mmtwassel@aol.com).

You've probably heard the old joke about the young couple who went to the
marriage counselor. It was obvious that they lacked spontaneity in their
marriage, and the counselor told them so. "The next time you see the twinkle
in your partner's eye," concluded the therapist, "go for it!"

At the next session he asked them how it went. "It was great," the guy
replied. "We followed your advice and had the best sex ever."

"Right," added the wife. "But we're not allowed back in McDonald's anymore."

Were the present story not sent to me as an official entry to my current
contest, I might have taken it as just another story about a guy having very
pleasant sex with his lover in McDonald's restaurant while the children at the
next table quibble with their mother over their Happy Meal toys.

However, this is a virtual reality contest, and so we know that what appears
to be real isn't really real. Not even if she says it's really real.
