Bedtime Story



What happened in the bed-size naming process? I was thinking about that last night, as to why they left the Royalty/medieval theme and went to a theme that is pretty much theme-leth (theme-leth=theme-less as pronounced by he with a lisp, or seamless by he with a lisp, as it were).


The biggest of all beds is the King, or the king of beds, maybe. It's fit for a king, especially that of a huge king. A king bed can pretty much sleep four. The Queen is slightly smaller than the King but still fit for a small King or the large-sized King's Queen. I've been sleeping in a Queen lately and it's more than enough room for two. I've also been sleeping in a full lately, and that also offers just enough room for two. But why full? Is it a full-sized bed? No, because the king is the fullest. How did they come up with full? Full of shit is what the bednamers were. It should have been called the knight, or maybe the duke. Full is crap, or full of crap. Hmm, maybe I'm onto something here. And lastly we have the twin. I suppose we get twin from the bunk beds, as the top and bottom bed are twin-sized. I'm okay with that, because a twin bed is only fit for one twin. The other twin would be shit out of luck, having to sleep on the floor. Unless of course his family had bunk beds, in which case this second twin would sleep in the other bunk, or the other twin bed. My suggestion would have been to call this bed the prince, as the prince is the King's son. In the spirit of the Spin Doctors, bunk beds would have two princes, and yes, they adore you. But both princes would have big seals upon their jackets because you can't rip them off. So don't just go ahead now.

then from now on you should start referring to the full as the "prince" and i will do the same as it is the right thing to do. in time it will sweep the nation as i am located in the upper midwest while you are on the east coast. it can happen.
