Dream: Milk Jugs Magazine

Last night I dreamt my boyfriend, Vince, was sitting in our living room, and we had guests over. We were talking about literary things, and he said, "Has anyone read Milk Jugs Magazine?"

Everyone froze. Milk Jugs? The magazine about boobs?

He laughed and said, "I'm serious. It's got really great articles." And I said: "Yeah, just like Playboy. I really like Playboy's writing."

The crowd, now convinced that we were both into porn, was silent. And I thought, "Maybe Vince is talking about Milk Jugs, the dairy magazine. In which case I just admitted I liked Playboy for no reason."
