Part 1

The beautiful movie star was confused.  In her next movie, she was 
supposed to portray a woman who was unjustly sent to prison.  In 
preparation for this role, she had made a deal with a small town 
Sheriff to spend the night in jail.

But the deputy who had arrested her for "speeding" had placed a 
small plastic bag with baking soda on the seat next to her and 
then took her picture.  "What in the world was THAT all about?" 
the beautiful actress wondered.

Instead of taking her to the local jail, they took her to the 
Prison Farm for Women.  The huge, frightening complex was very 
different from the cozy little jail where she had first met with 
the Sheriff, and she had protested vehemently to the deputy. 

The grinning deputy told her not to worry.  "The Sheriff has taken 
care of everything," he assured her with a sly smile.

The deputy was a gentleman, but the courteous treatment stopped 
as soon as she entered the prison.  Even though she was a famous 
celebrity, who earned millions for each motion picture, she had 
been unceremoniously stripped naked, ordered onto an exam table, 
and left crouched on all fours there like a dog!

What was worse, the exam room had glass windows on two sides, which 
left her exposed to the office workers in the large reception area. 
The workers made no secret of their enjoyment at seeing the famous 
movie star buck naked, and they openly leered at the blushing 
celebrity. 

But what really confused her was the box.  When she was stripped, 
her purse, clothing, and jewelry had all been placed in a large 
cardboard box. 

The shrewish secretary had methodically sealed that box with 
strapping tape, then stuck two labels on it, carefully making 
sure that the dazed actress was in a position to read the labels.

One was a UPS Ground Shipment label! 

But the other was even more ominous.  It contained three words in 
large block letters: 

			LONG TERM STORAGE

The naked movie star had quickly explained to the secretary that 
this was a mistake.  "The Sheriff told me that I'm going to be 
released tomorrow!" she'd said, desperately.  The old crone of a 
secretary had just smiled at her and left the room.

The actress was left kneeling on the table for a good 20 minutes.  
But, although the office workers were still openly gawking at her, 
she barely noticed. 

She couldn't take her eyes off that box.

"I'm sure the Sheriff will get here soon and open that damn box so 
I can get dressed," she thought, hopefully. 

But her next visitor was not the Sheriff.  It was the grinning UPS 
man!

She blushed 10 shades of crimson when the gawking man entered the 
room.  She noticed that the deliveryman didn't seem surprised that 
there was a naked woman on the exam table, but he was taken back 
when he realized that it was one of the top box office stars in 
the country who was bare naked in front of him. 

The blushing star gave the deliveryman her autograph. 

And then, to her horror, the grinning UPS man picked up the box 
and headed for the door.

"Where are you taking my clothes?" she asked, fearfully.  "Please 
don't take them away.  I'll be left...totally naked!" she pleaded.  
"This is a terrible mistake!" 

"Sorry, ma'am, but I've got a schedule to keep," he said, with a 
mischievous grin.  "I'm going to have to load this box onto my 
truck, same as all the rest!"

He paused and smiled.  He wanted to give the naked girl the mental 
image of her precious box bouncing around in the back of his truck 
just like any other piece of anonymous cargo. 

"But don't worry, ma'am," he said.  "Your package will arrive at 
its final destination in three to seven business days!"  

Then he playfully swatted the humiliated star's bare bottom.  
"Have a nice day!" he said, mockingly, as he left with the box.

The Sheriff smiled as he looked through the glass at the naked, 
squirming movie star trapped on her humiliating perch.  Beautiful 
women always looked so defeated when you took their boxes away.

The Sheriff knew that the star was confused.  Everyone had told 
her that all would be explained to her as soon as the Sheriff 
showed up.

The first thing that the Sheriff saw when he entered the exam room 
was the naked star's perfect bare ass staring back at him.  The 
sight took his breath away.

He quickly reached for the rubber glove and the tube of jelly in 
his pocket.

The movie star's incarceration might be a total mystery to her, 
but the Sheriff was determined to get to the bottom of it!
