One day, Harry1 came upon a big, long ladder that stretched into the clouds.

He'd walked this way every day and this ladder was never there before.
Curious and brave, he began to climb.

Eventually, he climbed into the layer of clouds, and saw this rather large, homely2 woman lying there on a cloud.
She spoke3: "Take me now or climb the ladder to success!"

Harry figured success had to be better than this, so he continued climbing.

He came upon another level of clouds, and found a thinner, cuter woman than before.

She also spoke: "Take me now or climb the ladder to success!"

Harry saw that his luck was changing and so continued his climb.

On another level of clouds, he found a rather attractive woman with not so bad a figure.

She stated, "Take me now or climb the ladder to success!"

Harry really liked his advantage now! He climbed quickly and deftly4, and sure enough, on the next level, he found a gorgeous, lithe5, well-endowed woman lying seductively on the cloud.
"Take me now or climb the ladder to success," she huskily whispered.

Harry couldn't believe his eyes, but his greed caught the best of him. He climbed to the next level, expecting Aphrodite or similar.

Suddenly, the ladder ends, and a latch6 closes behind him. He looks over to see a 400-pound, 6'8" hairy biker looking guy with tattoos7.

The biker gets up and walks menacingly toward Harry.
Apprehensively8, Harry whispers, "Who are you?"

The biker answers, "I'm Cess."
