Decameron: Family Fun at Petro’s [VIII/8]
Family Fun at Petro’s
Are you ready for family-friendly fun? Are you looking to get revenge on an acquaintance or stir up unnecessary drama with your spouse?
Then COME ON DOWN to Petro’s Cassone Emporium and Family Fun Park! Here at Petro’s, you can live out your wildest hiding-in-a-large-linen-chest-based fantasies, including:
Enjoying the immaculate low-relief sculpture and gilding of cassoni from an uncomfortably close vantage point
Screaming from undiagnosed claustrophobia
Hiding in a cassone for three days so you can spy on an acquaintance’s wife, memorize the details of her room, and then convince said acquaintance that you slept with his wife
Letting your friend cheat on your wife, locking said friend inside a cassone, then cheating with his wife on top of the chest
Breathing dust and linen fibers
Showing off the wealth of your family by putting a fair percentage of your net worth into decorating a box
Lying still for hours while pretending you are buried alive inside the cassone because your girlfriend is having sex with your landlord on top of it
And more!
And remember, at Petro’s, we Think Outside of the Box while Inside of a Box!
