Ever heard someone say something about a bedbug?
      Ever heard someone say something about a bedbug?
      Well, I have, and I also  had a conversation with a wise bed. 
      A man had been standing close to this bed, ready to finish his job. I'd tried to hurry and finish my conversation with the bed, seeing how the man had been getting a bit impatient with my presence.
      This wise bed had sighed when I mentioned bedbugs. I petted his sheet and told him everything was going to be okay.
      He sighed -again- and said in a hollow voice, "When you get home, can you do me a favor for my fellow bed brother? Vacuum the bed. If he asks what for, tell him, 'So the bedbugs don't bite.'"
      I nodded and watched as the man put itching cream on the bed, where every bug had bit him.
