We don't see Jock too much during the play, but when we do he is always doing things that good jocks are supposed to do, such as drink massive quantities of beer, "hump chicks," and sap off other people's notebooks. JC wanders around the stage perpetually stoned--his first words in the play come when he lumbers into the room for the first time and sees Stan and Jim and their unpacked mess: "Oh wow, man."

Battered Woman. Store windows also reflect the kinky trend. In Cambridge, the Camel's Hump boutique displayed a dead woman, blood running from her mouth, tumbling out of a garbage can.

However degrading, these images apparently sell merchandise. Cheeks sales for the final quarter were up 500% over the previous year, and the Camel's Hump display increased sales by 25%. The John Anthony jumpsuit worn by the battered woman in Avedon's Vogue pictures sold "beautifully," according to a company spokeswoman.
