In a work-information email sent out by a coworker, he decided to add his own unrelated 2 cents. I responded, and this chain resulted:

HIM: Did you know that in Shakespeare’s time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase …………………. “GOODNIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT.”
ME: how do you lay on the mattress and pull the rope to the desired tightness at the same time?
HIM: With great strength.
ME: oh. I’m glad I have a pillowtop over springs, then.
HIM: We have a pillow top also but it is so high of the ground I had to get a ladder for my wife.
ME: whatever happened to the good ol’ days of chivalry when a man would cradle his wife in his arms and carry her and lift her gently over the bed?
HIM: Oh you sweet innocent child.
ME: Hey, I’m almost 30!

Well, that broke up the mundaneness of jury selection on our new drug sales trial. Now, back to taking notes on jury selection, processing and entering a civil judgment on a prior case, doing family law crap. =P
