Ben was turning 24. His mate Jeremy worked for a small tv studio, and had got them tickets for a new show. After a quick bite, they headed down to the studio where there was a line for ticket holders to get in. As they got to the front, beside the ticket checker were two producers. They were looking at each person as they came through, and stopped Ben as he was walking in.

"Hey buddy, wanna be on the show?". Ben wondered if Jeremy had put them up to this, and he knew that the show was a bit crazy sometimes. "Yeah ok" he conceded, figuring it would be fun. They led Ben backstage as Jeremy went to sit with the audience. After about 15 minutes of random comedy acts Jeremy hadn't seen Ben and wondered what was going on.

Meanwhile backstage, Ben was being attended to by some of the stage hands. "Ok mate, you just go along with the flow, have fun, and relax" they were telling him. Ben had no idea what was going on. "Alright, you're going on in a minute". They had done a quick styling on Ben's dark bushy hair but left him in his red tshirt and jeans. The stage hand led Ben up to a short flight of stairs with a chair on top. "Ok, you just have to sit up there". "Um, ok" Ben replied. Just as Ben was about to climb the stairs the stage hand looked down and realised he forgot something "Oh , and take those off!" he gestured to Ben's trainers. 'Must be a stage show thing' Ben thought to himself as he helped the stagehand pull off his trainers. The stage hand then pulled off Ben's socks leaving him barefoot, and slightly confused. Never the less, he climbed the stairs and took a seat, his bare feet dangling off the side of the platform.

The curtain opened in front of him and he could see the studio audience, including his buddy Jeremy who was sitting in the 2nd row. The platform his chair was on moved forward and he was positioned over a big perspex enclosure, with a big padded mat below him. Inside were two other guys, who looked around 20 or so. Both were in light blue t-shirts and tracksuit pant, one with thick wavy blond hair, the other also blond with shaggy locks. Both were wearing knee high welly boots.

"Can we have a round of applause for our volunteer Ben everyone!" Everyone cheered as Ben waved. "And thank you to our two studio interns Paddy and Joe. Paddy and Joe are risking life and limb to play a new game, human dunk tank." Paddy and Joe laid down next to each other, head to toe, facing upwards. Their crotches were about a metre under Ben's feet.

"We like to welcome all our new interns to a world of pain" explained the host as the audience laughed. "Ben is celebrating his 24th birthday tonight" the host continued "and he's here with his good friend Jeremy." Jeremy waved. He was wearing a yellow tshirt, jeans, and work boots. "Jeremy, you're going to help us play the host informed him."

The studio hands wheeled a big board out. It has the words Human Dunk, Gunk Ben Gunk Jeremy and Safe written on it, with spaces covered up next to each. Jeremy got the feeling this wouldn't end well.

"Ok Jeremy, we just want to you call out 5 numbers between 1 and 10. We'll uncover each number as you call it and see what happens." Jeremy called out the first number "3!". The host reached over and pulled a covered off, revealing '3' next to the word safe. "Lucky! Ok, next". "8" Jeremy called out. The host reached over and pulled the cover off number 8 which was next to Gunk Jeremy. At that moment, thick green slime fell from the ceiling over Jeremy's head, covering him. It splatted all over his hair, running down his face and neck. It covered his t-shirt and pooled in his lap. It slopped all over the floor and covered his boots, and splatted on the audience members sitting to the sides of him. Jeremy had a look of total surprise on his face. "Oh my God!" he cried out finally. "That was gross". "Well its not over yet mate" the host replied. Being a good sport, Jeremy went on. "2" he called.

The host removed the cover next to the human dunk tank. "This is the one our interns have been dreading all night" the host stated. Ben felt the chair he was sitting on tilt, and realised he was in the 'dunk tank' and he was being dunked into 'humans'. The thought that this was totally weird crossed his mind as he fell the metre or so towards the padded surface. The soles of his feet came crashing down on Joe and Paddy. The padding absorbed most of the impact, but both groaned slightly as the weight came crashing down. Ben ended up face up, with the heels of his barefeet resting on the other guys crotches, toes pointed in the air. Paddy and Joe sat upright, and the host gestured to him. They both looked slightly embarrassed, but complied, each grabbing Ben's foot and pushed it down heal first into their crotch. Ben found the feeling of their hands ticklish against the soles of his feet and couldn't help laughing and Joe and Paddy's faces went grew red with embarrassment.

'Two more numbers" the host called out. Jeremy picked 9. The host revealed this to be safe. "Last one" he shouted. Jeremy called out "1", which the host revealed was next to Gunk Ben. Thick blue slime fell from the ceiling, not covering Ben, but all over poor Paddy and Joe. They both stared at each other, half in disbelief as the thick blue slop covered their blond hair and tshirts. It fell all over their laps, and poured over Ben's barefeet. It covered their welly boots, turning them a shiny blue. Ben wiggled his toes and laughed as Joe and Paddy got splatted. His feet felt really slippery and he mashed the slime into the interns track pants with the balls of his feet.

The host thought it was funny that Ben was having so much fun at the expense of Joe and Paddy. "I think you guys should give him a taste of his own medicine" the host told them. Ben's eyebrows shot up as Joe reached beside him and pulled off Paddy's boots. Paddy did the same for Joe. The boots had taken all the slime, and their feet were both clean. They spun on the spot, and faced Ben. They both pushed their feet into his crotch. Ben had a bemused look on his face as the two pairs of feet squished down on him. Paddy and Joe both cracked a smile on their slime covered faces. At that instant more thick blue slime came pouring down, this time all over Ben. His dark hair was covered in blue slime, and it slopped all over his face and cloths. It covered his jeans, and Joe and Paddy's clean barefeet were covered with a thick blue slop. Ben laid back as they repaid the 'favour', squishing the slime into his crotch with their barefeet as he had done to them. Ben screwed up his face as slime kept on pouring all over the three of them and they were totally covered. His toes were pointed skywards as Paddy and Joe pushed their feet into him, making the slime slide everywhere.

When the slime stopped, Paddy and Joe eased off and sat back. Ben sat upright. "That was something else" he declared, slime dripped from all of them.
