Fugue # 66


- How do you even shop for a bed?
- You gotta come with me.
- Why?
- Because I don’t know what I’m doing.
- You’re buying a bed.
- Yeah, but I don’t know how.
- Ha, me neither. Really, how do you shop for a bed?
- That’s why you should come with me. Strength in numbers.
- What? That doesn’t make any sense, if neither one of us knows what’s up. Why do you need a new bed anyway?
- C’mon...
- Fine, but we have to do some research.

The Sunday paper, sale pages: a jumble of prices, bold letters, bolder letters, pictures of...beds.

- Pillow top? Hmmm...
- Shush, keep reading.
- I can’t imagine being a guy who sells beds. That’s a pretty big responsibility.
- ...
- Seriously, think about it. You’re selling somebody a product which they’ll use as a place to dream, literally, dream.
- Not to mention other things.
