Great story. I think you should take them up on their offer to tickle you. You could negotiate to tickle them in exchange for letting them tickle you. That could be lots of fun. ...and thanks for sharing the pics.
Tickling itself has never become painful for me. However, sometimes a rough tickler may inflict pain by accident, but that that shouldn't be confused with tickling. It's more like clumsiness.
Let New York go ahead and try to execute me after I jump off a building. I dare them.
...but before I do, I'm going to report porcelaindoll2 to the authorities in VA.
