Ever since my wife Helen saw they made sheets that were self cooling and self cleaning, she had been yelping about needing to try them.
I could not understand how a sheet could self wash itself. There is a lot of dirt and stains that I’m sure a sheet can’t clean. Helen told me I wasn’t imaginative enough, however my imagination worked overtime sometimes. Helen told me if I enjoyed her, I would buy the sheets. Even if they weren’t self-cleaning, Helen would like self-cooling sheets. I was in town a week later, and I saw a cool little air conditioning system. It was quite cheap so I bought it, along with a child’s playhouse sized washer. I put the air conditioning system under our bed, however not back far enough where Helen wouldn’t see it when she walked in the door. The washing machine was on the other side of the room, along with an instruction sheet entitled; to the sheets. When Helen walked in the kitchen I heard her smart comment, however she was laughing. Helen had found the washer before she found the air conditioning unit. I told her her real gift was on my side of the bed. Helen pulled out the portable air conditioning system and asked what that was for? I told Helen my associates and I could turn on the air conditioning system before she and I made the decision to go to bed, and it would cool off the entire bed, and not just the sheets. Helen slapped my arm as she burst out laughing. It wasn’t what she asked for, however at least Helen took it as a joke, and never asked about self-cleaning or self-cooling sheets again.
