Butler Jo: The Mystery Of The Black Spot!

Hi my name is Jo. The best parties I've found, always have a theme.Last month I was called to a party in Worthing near Brighton with a most unusual theme. If you've heard of Treasure island - they based this party on that. When I arrived I noticed everyone was dressed in pirate gear. Some had hooks, eye patches, swords and one even had a parrot! It was a very multi generational affair and Gran was the one with the enourmous blue parrot on her shoulder .......and it was alive.

They had this game going throughout the evening called "The Black Spot". No one ever actually mentioned the game but essentially a black sticky spot (about the size of a 20p piece) was surreptitiously transferred from person to person throughout the evening, with the intention that whoever was found still wearing it on the stroke of midnight, would perform a forfeit for the pirate captain. Everyone kept a very close eye on their neighbours despite the drink flowing so freely that night.

I noticed the black spot quietly being transferred between the ladies whilst I did the cocktails and the canapes and was just wondering where it had got to when I noticed it was very near midnight. There was a loud "Bong" on granny's fireplace gong as she called all the giggling guests to order. She was awesomely commanding, no wonder they had chosen her to be the pirate captain. "Who has the black spot?" she asked the now hushed room. We all looked round in suspense, expecting someone to come forward......but no one actually did.

"Well go and find it then!" she commanded. Everyone scurried about checking each other over for it. After 5 minutes the spot was still unfound. Granny was looking a bit dejected........her plan was going pear shaped.....it looked like no one was going to do her forfeit after all. Until someone behind me suddenly shouted out - "Well shiver me timbers - There it is, on Jo's bum!" How it got there I'll never know because I didn't feel a thing. But I was certainly going to have to do the forfeit now

I was getting increasingly concerned about exactly what this awesome woman had in mind for me to do for her as a forfeit. So it was with huge relief that I learned - she just wanted me to catch two big hairy spiders from the downstairs bathroom for her!
