D: Why not go to have a massage!

J: Sole massage or head massage?

D: Of course a whole-body one.

J: Good idea! That would be refreshing. But it must be expensive. The payday hasn't come.

D: I think it's good to relieve ourselves occasionally. Don't you agree?

J: Oh, I agree.

D: Maybe we should try a Thai massage.

J: What's special about a Thai massage?

D: The masseuse walks on your back and massages you with her feet.
