Temptation was driving me, though professionalism had her foot on the brake. At that moment, both were in perfect balance. Despite my hot and sticky body, I shivered. * As a science graduate, I was well aware that matter is always affected by the very act of measuring, knew intimately the anomalies created from even the slightest variables, and had designed my research with all the care and skill my very demanding employers verily demanded. Though the subjects were chosen at random, they were all chosen in the same particular way: During normal office hours, I boarded the Northern Line at Belsize Park then travelled south to Clapham Common where I alighted and made the return journey. During these short trips, clipboard in hand, I quickly assessed the carriage's contents, approached suitable candidates, conducted brief questionnaires, and handed out flyers bearing a pithy script post-scripted by my office number.

We'd obviously applied for more, expected it to be a formality, but had been turned down - unsurprisingly, the world's leading condom manufacturer ran a very tight, leak-proof operation - and our options were now limited. The Monday morning team meeting had but one item on the agenda. 'Listen, Sally, it's either you or me. And I'm not sure I cut the mustard.' As Pam shrugged, her pendulous tits wobbled in contrary motion to her three chins. Geoff nodded and spread his huge palms upwards on the desk top. 'And let's face it, neither do I, Sal.'
