  • Vertical bed

    For those with sleeping problems! LOL

    Just think, you no longer have to make your bed! And when you wake up, you do not have to get dressed, and your clothes are not wrinkled.

    The umbrella is used for adverse weather conditions. I think it would be wise to check the weather before crashing at the subway.

    Looks like something the Spanish Inquisition would make you sleep in.

    And I must say, as a male, you tend to get, ummmm, physiological, changes whilst asleep. Might be alot more apparent if you were up right LOL :P

      LOL
      I checked back here expecting to see a flurry of comments...!

      Thanks Ed and Jimbo for making me smile!
      Diagnosed aged 17 thoracic curve of 40°/48? given brace worn for short time but was then told that I had stopped growing and it wasn’t likely to get worse. Follow ups ‘got lost in the system’ and I chose to ignore until age approx 33, after two children. Now nearly 42yrs curve was progressing (last xrays 67 degrees) and increasing 'backache' so surgery (posterior T3 - L1) went ahead beginning of September 2008 in UK - thoracic curve now approx 20° and I look a lot straighter!

          Louisse,

          I'm surprised also. Comedy takes effort, sometimes you crash and burn, oh well.

          What's funny about the picture is that he is outside on the street! Maybe if a bird was perched on the umbrella, we would have more responses.

          JoAnne5,

          Any of us who have worn braces in the past could handle it. There would have to be a quick release on the bars so one could sit fast LOL

          Jimbo,

          Great observation! I thought that the hat rack was on top of the umbrella!
