It was getting hotter on the stage and the big bull was feeling the heat. She took a long sip of her Palo Alto Super Juice and wiped off her brow as sweat poured down onto her agenda meeting papers. Bulldyke Gertrude was feeling light-headed and wobbly. It must have been 100 or more by now. The center smelled of human stench. All of the girls were boiling and the convention center was starting to cook.
Then it dawned on Bulldyke Gertrude....... the fire alarm will trip the sprinkler system which will hose off all of the big beasts present! Calmly and deliberately, the moved to the side of the sweltering stage and pulled the alarm. The fire bells sounded and water began pouring everywhere, hosing off the big sweat machines. It was a blessing to all Palo Alto Clandestine Bulldykes Society members and Gertrude announced that she was going to suggest to the society administration that this become a routine ritual like the solidarity howl, that will be practiced at each bulldyke quarterly meeting. The bulls rejoiced in this hose down but when the Palo Alto Fire Department arrived and learned what had actually transpired, all the girls were arrested for wasting thousands of gallons of Palo Alto mountain water.
Gertrude, however was spared the lockup as she told the assistant fire chief present "I like that long hose you carry". The paddy wagons were loaded up with big sweating bulls and they were herded into holding pens at the Queerboat Ranch, but Gertrude and the assistant chief rushed over to the Palo Alto Holiday Inn for a special treat.
