Jumping Jack FlashThis had to be the strangest hen party Butler Jack had done so far. When Jack turned up he noticed straight away that all the hens were wearing colourful check trimmed narrow waisted, full skirted 50s style dresses, false eye lashes, long haired wigs and sparkly shoes with bows each matching the colour of their dresses. The place had been themed with home made Wizard of Oz style props, such as a large representation of the Tin Man in one corner made out of cardboard boxes and tin foil. In another corner there was a scarecrow made from straw and stuffed clothes, with a small toy dog at its feet. The penny finally dropped – they were all Dorothys! Jack didn’t have a clue what the evening would hold except that he’d been asked to serve drinks, then some enormous hideously decorated cup cakes and help with some old fashioned games. He changed and got busy serving the drinks. The girls all wanted cocktails in keeping with the theme.......His Toto Teasers went down a treat! At last it came to the old fashioned games. Jack discovered he had to compete with all the girls at a pogo – off . The girls cleared all the furniture to the edges of the room and got the two pogo sticks out – sitting themselves round the edges of the room on the floor cushions. It shouldn’t be too hard he thought after all he was extremely fit, due to working out 5 nights a week. His muscles rippled all over his torso in anticipation. He faced 10 worthy opponents down – having to go through a series of strenuous jumps, twirls and hops against each whilst never putting a foot on the ground . Which meant he had to be jumping the whole time. He had made it through every single heat, beating every hen at the party. There was great applause each time he out poggoed yet another opponent. His considerable muscles were aching with pain when they finally crowned him the outright winner of the pogo off. What he didn’t realise for a while was that all the hens had each taken a dive so that they could keep him in the competition and on the pogo stick as long as possible throughout the whole event . Their floor level seating made it especially attractive for him not to drop out of the competition too soon!
