　　I always take a deep 　　1　　 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．

　　“I just won a sales contest at work and the 　　2　　 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”

　　“Probably your new straw hat or your 　　15　　,”she said．

　　After receiving many smiles, we 　　16　　 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 　　17　　．It was then that I saw the 　　18　　 for all the smiles．

　　Caught in the fly of my trousers and 　　19　　 down for all to see was a bright red 　　20　　 from the restaurant!
