Okay, here's a challenge. I have recently become aware that a great
many people think that Catherine Bell has had breast implants. So,
my challenge is to write a story where, for some reason, Mac, Harm,
Bud, Harriet, AJ and Tiner get into a conversation about her implants.
ie: when she got them, why, where, etc. I
look forward to the results!

After a long week at JAG, the office had moved over to Mc Murphy's
for some drinks. A little while into the conversation Harm asked,
"What's the worst bet you ever lost?"

"Where did that come from?" asked Mac.

"I was wondering about your tattoo. Thought it might have been part
of a bet." answered Harm.

"It was but that's not the worst bet I ever lost." replied Mac.

"What was Colonel the worst bet you ever lost?" asked Admiral
Chegwidden.

"oh no, I'm not going first tonight, mine has got to be the worst and I
go last." replied Mac.

"I'll go first" said Harriet. "It was a few years ago, in fact in seems like
a different life. I was in college."

"Go on Lieutenant." encouraged Harm.

"Well, I was at a friends apartment, she was having a typical college
party and we were playing darts. After a while things seemed to be
getting dull so we decided to have a contest. at the end there were
just three of us left. We all bet that we would win. The losers had to
perform a strip show on her coffee table. Needless to say, I didn't win
and ended up stripping down to a pair of panties in the middle of
about 30 people."

"Harriet" said Bud in disbelief.

" Lieutenant, can't say you didn't have a wild streak in your youth."
grinned Harm.

"Don't Harriet me, Bud, tell them about how you got your tattoo." said
Harriet.

"You have a tattoo?" asked Mac in disbelief.

"Yes, Ma'am, got it after a night out with the guys. I was in port on the
Seahawk and had gone out with a bunch of guys from the ship. We
divided into teams before we got to the club. The objective for the
night was to have more guys from your team leave with a woman. All
members of the losing group had to get a tattoo, winners choice. I
wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't picked up a woman and the
team lost but it wasn't me that made our team lose. So the next
morning after I got in from my roll in the hay, I found out we had lost
and had to get a tattoo." said Bud.

"Well, what's the tattoo?" asked Tiner.

'I'm not telling." answered Bud, I just had to tell what I lost in the bet it
what it was."

"Oh honey, you can tell them about the rose on your but." teased
Harriet.

Bud gave her a horrified look but relented when Mac said. "Neither of
you have mine topped. I'm sure that my loss changed my viewpoint
on life and how people view me today. Your turn flyboy."

"I've never lost a bet." he said smugly.

"Yeah right." This time it was the admiral who called his bluff.

"Okay, well, when I was at the Academy I bet all the time with Keeter
and Sturgis. We would bet on anything. But the most humiliating time
was during our first class year. We bet on who would be able to
handle the most drinks one night and the morning after I lost I was
serenading Diane under her window in the barracks." said Harm.

"I don't believe that was your worst loss but we'll get it out of Keeter
next time he comes to town." aid Mac with a gleam in her eye. "Okay,
who's up Tiner or the Admiral."

"I'll go but this is kind of mild compared to all of you." Tiner said
tentatively.

"Out with it." said Harm.

"Well, I bet on the outcome of a basketball game with Shelly, my
girlfriend. My team lost and so I had to sneak her into the office and
take her on my desk."

"Sounds like a mutually beneficial bet" said the Admiral.

"Sir, I have watched enough of you to know not to bet on anything that
I am not willing to lose and not to bet anything I might later regret."
replied Tiner.

"Well, mine was just a few weeks ago and it wasn't so much that I
couldn't win but I had to take myself out before it even began. A few of
my SEAL buddies were in town a few weeks ago. We headed out to a
bar and before we got there we decided that we would all try to pick
up the hottest single woman there." said the Admiral.

"What's the problem I wouldn't have thought you would have any
trouble picking up a woman." said Mac with a smile. She and Harriet
were exchanging a knowing look.

"The problem was who they choose out. There were five of us and
since I was outvoted besides agreeing with them that they had chosen
the best looking woman in the bar. I couldn't even try. As it was none
of them could pick her up so we all headed back to my place and
shaved our chests." said the Admiral.

Mac and Harriet burst out laughing.

"Sir, why couldn't you pick up the woman." asked Bud.

"She was in my chain of command Lieutenant," replied the Admiral.

With that admission Mac and Harriet laughed even harder.

"You have a problem with that Mac." asked Harm.

"Nope, just remembering something." said Mac with a broad smile.

Admiral Chegwidden sighed as he looked at her, "I take it you told
Harriet about your evening."

"Yes, sir I couldn't resist. It was quite a night, lets just say you have
some creative friends."

"You, Mac, they were trying to pick you up.' said Harm.

"What's the matter, can't believe I was the `hottest woman' I believe
you said Admiral in the bar, or you can't believe they didn't succeed."
said Mac with a sharp voice. "Well, I guess its my turn."

"Wait a minute I want to hear more about this night at the bar."
protested Harm.

"You have a choice my night at the bar with the SEALs or my worst
loss in a bet, but I am not telling both." answered Mac.

"I for one want to hear about your bet not mine." said the Admiral.

"I already know about the night, I want to hear about the bet where
you lost and your punishment was worse than a tattoo." said Harriet.

"Well then I guess your outvoted Harm." said Mac. " I was in law
school. We had just finished our last final of the first semester and a
whole group was going out. Well, we were having a party at one of the
girls' apartment, co-ed of course. I felt I was safe for a bet after all I
was the only sober one in the bunch little did I know how our game
would get out of hand. Each of us wrote out a dare on a piece of
paper. One by one we had to pull out a paper and follow the dare if
not we faced a consequence. The consequences were discussed in
advance but as a marine I felt I could do anything my drunk friends
might come up with. You would think law school students might have
some sense, but as we started going I got worried. I pulled out my
dare and knew I couldn't do it. I thought the consequence was much
better. Anyway the following week I went into Sally's dad's office and
he gave me implants. I only went up one size but it sure made a
difference to the guys around me."

"What was the dare?" asked Harm.

At the same time Tiner said "You got into a bet were the losers had to
get breast implants."

"Colonel with consequences like that the stakes must have been
high." said the Admiral.

"Well, the person who made it through the most, there's and then they
could pick up the dares of anyone who chose the consequences
wouldn't have to prepare any cases for our study group the next
semester" answered Mac.

"You still haven't told us what you had to do." protested Harriet.

"I'm not going there." answered Mac.

"Yes you are, Colonel." said the Admiral.

"Sir." protested Mac.

"Out with it." said the Admiral

"Well, my dare was to strip down have three nude and explicit pictures
taken of me and allow them to be posted around campus for a week."
she said. "Let me say it was not the worst of the dares by far and
almost everyone went for the consequences. Sally's dad had four of
us in his office that week, and the guys enjoyed a night out the
piercing parlor."

"Ohh, what did they get pierced." asked Tiner, excited at the juicy
story.

"I don't believe that is part of my dare, and since I never got to enjoy
them, I can't tell you if it makes a difference." Mac smirked. "I did
check to make sure they didn't cheat but other than that, I decided
other than study group, the people I was hanging out with were a little
wild for my taste."

"You checked them?" asked Harm not believing the revelations of the
evening.

"Hey, they had the gall to measure each of us before and after, most
of the girls insisted on checking out there piercing first, not that the
guys minded." she replied. "And now before an more questions come
up, I'm out of here, let me and that if I hear an inkling about this story I
will make whomever live to regret it."

Staring after her retreating form for a few minutes, the JAG staff was
amazed at what they learned about each other, especially Mac. Soon
after they all began leaving, wondering what the next unusual topic
might come up.
