[Ann Landers, 1990]

It seems a couple sitting on their back porch enjoying a lovely summer evening were startled by blood-curdling screams for help coming from their neighbors' home.

After dialing 911 and arming themselves with a baseball bat, the couple proceeded to their neighbors' house to assist in any way they could. As luck would have it, the front door was unlocked so they walked right in. They followed the frantic calls for help to an upstairs bedroom, where they found the neighbor lady stark naked and tied hand and foot to her bed. On the floor lay her husband, unconscious, wearing a Batman cape and mask.

It became apparent that the couple were into both bondage and fantasies. Mr. Batman had attempted to leap from the dresser onto the bed. In the process he bumped his head on the ceiling fan and went out like a light.

The couple untied Mrs. Batman, revived Mr. Batman and took him to the hospital, where he was treated for a superficial head injury and released.

A friend of a friend was worried when she didn't see her neighbours for a couple of days. Their car was in the drive but the milk was piling up outside the door. So she went over to the house and knocked on the door. No reply. She listened at the letterbox and could hear some faint sounds of groaning.

She rushed back home and phoned the Police who duly arrived and broke the door down. They searched the ground floor and found nothing. Then they went upstairs and heard the moaning coming from behind the main bedroom door.

The police burst in to find the woman, wearing a maid's outfit, tied and gagged on the bed. They hurriedly untied her and she started sobbing "My husband, my husband, he's in the wardrobe". Thinking that the husband had been killed the police opened the wardrobe to find the husband, dressed in a Spiderman outfit crumpled at the bottom of the wardrobe with a broken leg.

It transpired that the couple had been playing a "sexual game." He pretended to be Spiderman and would jump off the top of the wardrobe and "save" his wife. However, the roof of the wardrobe had collapsed and he'd been stuck in the wardrobe for two days.
