TRAGEDY IN NORFOLK: AIR MATTRESS SPRINGS LEAK

airmattress.jpg

Yes, I sleep on an air mattress. It's comfortable, okay? But unlike regular mattresses, it's capable of deflating. This morning I woke up feeling like I was submerged in a ball pit. Or in a perfect foam cut-out of my body like one of those aluminum suitcases for cameras and shit. It took me 20-25 minutes to actually get out of bed. So now my whole day is blown. According to some unwritten rule, if I deviate from my morning regimen in any way, then the structure of the day collapses, and I just flop around aimlessly, accomplishing nothing. Which has its own pleasures, don't get me wrong.

You gotta stop buying your air mattresses at places that advertise "love cushions."

With all the hissing of the air matress losing its fill, did you dream of snakes??

and if so can you draw that...that may top the milk drawings.

Wa-ha-ha! I'm sorry, I know its not funny from where your at but this really made my day. That facial expression is stellar. Wee-hee-hee!

What could you have been doing in your sleep to have caused the deflation? Hee-hee!

How could the springs in an air mattress leak?

Oh... Never mind.

I LOVE this! I just spent like, 15 minutes trying to RE-FIND this post 'cause I had it in my memory. My hubby sleeps on one (long story) and it's been deflating every night now for a while and I keep thinking of your sketch! LOL :)
