Alternate Title: NYMPH
Author: Stanton Wood
Synopsis: Elmer believes he's found the perfect bride
in a wood nymph named Cricket. She's beautiful, intelligent, funny, and
she wants to have sex constantly. Unfortunately, Elmer can't keep up, and
he's man enough to admit it. So he locks her in the library to avoid
having sex, where Cricket reads up on how humans do things. Pretty soon she's
hiring a gardener to "tend her bush", and when he can't keep up she's
pimping out and exploiting a simple handyman named Rod through an outlandish
contract that demands chicken suits, bus loads of foreign tourists, and a
bordello set up in an abandoned subway toilet. Elmer is angry, Rod is
tired, and the gardener is growing a third arm, but Cricket is just
confused. Isn't she supposed to
screw the ones she loves?
