And the guy says, pointing to his girlfriend on his back. He goes up to his mate, who's got a big S on his chest and is wearing his underwear outside his trousers, and says "who are you, then?". When he gets to the party he gets quite a few funny stares, but he carries on. He paints himself entirely green, then picks up his girlfriend and slings her across his back.
