Once upon a time there was a girl named Joanna (Jo for short) who was growing more and more disillusioned with the male population. Sinking into despair, she had almost resigned herself to the nunnery when her neighbor Heather and the glaring reality that she was not Catholic presented her with another option. Lo and behold, Heather's strapping young male cousin Jake--who had just returned from wrestling alligators and serving the Lord--was seeking a little lady to scratch his back and stroke his tummy.
