- It's hard to find a good nostril model.
- Nude Model Museum Rugby is a rough sport. This player has clearly hurt her knee and will have to come out.
- Is it really a good idea to lean against the painting like that? After all, that's an original [squints] Rubano?
- Wow, those are ... some words.
- Don't discriminate against backs. Be a friend to backs. Be a back ally.
- What the hell is "Sinports" even a pun on?? Car ports? Imports? Sun porch?
- They've playfully covered up the "Inflamed Trio," i.e. her nipples and the patch of eczema above her right elbow.
- "Which do you think would look better on my business card: 'Artist in Sin' or 'Sin Artist By Choice'? Oh never mind, I'll ask my mom. Hey, MOM! ..."
- Honestly, I've seen scores of these tag line / ellipsis / nonsense cover copy / ellipsis / tag line back covers—they are a staple of '60s sex fiction back covers—but this one is the first to exhaust me. It's like being bludgeoned with nonsensically bad grammar. Good luck making it all the way to the IGNITED CARNALITY
- "As a simile from another story herein" ... if you have any idea what this sentence means, let me know. It's as confusing as a simile.
- LOL "trio"—did they just scare-quote the book's own title. That's pretty meta.

A few well dressed agents with bulging client books and nervous, hopeful clinets at their sides, glanced at Ronald with interest.I know it looks like I've made some typing errors in transcribing that quotation, but I assure you I have not. Not a one. I'm imagining "clinets" as a kind of medium-sized, reclusive panda-cat. It's too bad only one clinet can get the part. Good luck, clinets! I hope you land that well [space] dressed agent!
