Barbra replaces her boyfriend in a boxing match

Barbra walked into the university gym and asked the manager for a pair 
of boxing gloves. She also asked him to point out Bill Wilson,the 
captian of the university's boxing team. He pointed to the large man 
shadow boxing in the ring.She thanked him and sat down on a bench.She 
tied her long,pretty hair into a ponytail,put on the the gloves and 
climbed into the ring.She walked up to Bill and introduced herself." 
Hi,my name is Barbra.I'm Larry's girlfriend;you know,the boy you 
challenged to a fight.I'm sorry to tell you that Larry isn,t feeling 
well - you'll have to fight me instead".As the six foot-three inch 220 
pound man looked down at the five foot-six inch 140 pound girl he felt 
anger at this affront to his masculinity.He decided to humor her 
anyway.The two squared off.Ten minutes later it was all over.Bill was 
lying on his back,battered and beaten.Barbra was sitting on his chest, 
comely brushing her pretty hair.She smiled down at him and said in a 
soft,sweet voice,"thank you Bill for a lovely workout".She then climbed 
out of the ring and handed the boxing gloves back to the stunned 
manager.

As she walked home through the university, Barbra had a serene 
smile on her face.She got to her apartment and opened the door.She found 
Larry exactly as she had left him - sitting on a chair with his hands 
tied behind his back.Barbra walked over to him and sat down on his 
lap.She kissed him and said,"I'm sorry I had to do this to you,but I 
love you much to much to allow you to get hurt by that bully.By the 
way,I don't think he'll be bothering you anymore.Can you forgive me 
honey?"Larry looked up at her with tears in his eyes and she 
understood.She untied him and the two of them embraced each other.After 
about a minute,Barbra bent over and lifted Larry up in her powerful arms 
and carried him into the bedroom.
