Best things about this cover:
  • What is he doing to her? I'd say he's trying to take her bra off, but his hands are way too high. Also, she's not wearing one.
  • Their awkward teenage fumbling amused hot young drunk Elizabeth Taylor.
  • The world needs more orange bras.
  • I thought swingers were swappers by definition. "The Swingers were faithful to their spouses"—there's your surprise headline.
  • This is what happens when you paint your living room Satanic Red.
  • I think I own that shirt.
  • Rex Nevins really gets the ladies to open up

Best things about this back cover:
  • I want to get past the first sentence, but I can't. Why is there a shower in the cockpit?
  • Why Are There Air Mattresses In The Cockpit? The "Cockpit" Of What?
  • "The way we were lined up was this way, left to right looking toward the bow..."; sorry, my arousal faded during the time it took me to draw a fucking diagram.

I kind of played with Pete's old slide rule in my hands.

Hilariously, this sentence is purely literal.

Oh Rex, he's not taking off her bra, he's helping her scratch a hard to reach itch.

Their skin tones are of a color not found in nature.
