"Under Cover" by Mike Hunt (MrM1ke@aol.com). I know some of you readers think that I AM Mike Hunt. That's possibly because I enjoy Mike Hunt so much and have great respect for Mike Hunt. But to be honest, I have to admit that my admiration for Mike Hunt is based primarily on the fact that in a sophomoric way sentences like the previous one are a lot of fun to read out loud. My brother used to have a similar affinity for people he referred to as I.P. Daily and Seymour Heine, the reputed authors of "The Yellow River" and "Under the Cheerleaders' Bench," respectively.

No, Mike Hunt is Mike Hunt - a unique author whose imagination sometimes astounds me. Take the present story, for example. Where would anyone get the idea for a plot about a guy who decides to do some investigative reporting on phone sex and then finds himself talking to a former classmate during his first interview? Then when he visits her for an in-person interview, the phone-sex goddess builds a fantasy for a caller around her alleged experiences with Mike Hunt, who, of course, is sitting there in her "office" getting himself off while listening to her end of the conversation. Where would a person get an idea for a story like this? The simplest explanation is that it must be true. However, the best explanation is that he probably got it from his cellmate. <Celeste 1, Mike Hunt 0>

One question I have is how did Jenny Sue get out of paying taxes? I thought I was being really clever by managing to get out of taxes for my profits on Celestial Reviews. But my method {making no profit whatsoever and therefore being obligated to pay no taxes at all} pales in comparison to this woman's method. I suspect her technique wouldn't really work; at the very least she'd have to have sex with several IRS or Bell Atlantic representatives.

Anyway, this is another good story. And I haven't told you the half of it! Well, actually I HAVE told you just about half of it, but you might as well read the story anyway.
