Laura: Adam, are you okay? Are you still thinking about the dryer?
Adam: It's driving me crazy. I just can't figure out where that extra screw came from.
*bam*
Trapper….I think the implication is the screw somehow came undone when geting the sheets for the laundry. And yes….it does happen that way. I’ve had it happen. It’s an unsettling experience when the bed falls apart like that.
Our bed collapses too and it’s so annoying! You’re tired, you just want to get some sleep and BAM, you’re up pulling the mattress and box spring off to get to the frame which needs readusting. We finally got some sense and put some blocks under the bed which holds everything up until we can do the ‘adjusting’ in the morning.
I didn’t read it as literally being the same screw, but almost that Adam’s worrying almost made it happen. Just an absurdity. Not necessarily logical … it IS a comic.
if you put the mattress straight on the floor, it won’t fall no matter how “athletic” you get (and it prevents dust bunnies from getting under the bed, too.
I’ve had a waterbed the last 20 years, and I love it.Turn the heater up in the winter and stay warm during the coldest nights. Turn it down in the summer and stay cool in July and August. Plus a comfortable night’s sleep as well, not to mention the 6 drawers for storage underneath, as well as in the huge headboard.
The only time I ever had a bed collapse on me I wasn’t just sleeping.
Sorry, no more details than that

Oh no, now we’re all gonna wonder what he means! What else could he possibly be doing in bed other than sleeping? Geeze, that wasn’t fair of you to make us wonder like that! LOLOL!
the implication to me_ is that _Adam himself had a screw loose and it fell out; and now another one has got loose and just fell out, indicating that there will soon be another disaster in which he’ll end up, once again, with one screw too many when he puts whatever-it-is back together…
Now, now, @Macush, you made me laugh, but you really made me wonder, what else could he be doing ? I often read or knit, but somehow they don’t seem to have the right flavour for whatever @Doctor Toon was talking about?
I once tried a waterbed. (Not to sleep in, just to be able to say I had tried one, while visiting some friends who had one.) Lasted less than a minute - I got seasick… No, seasickness, doesn’t seem right either…..

Stop shaking the screws out of the bed

I had a bed like that when I lived at home and I was always putting thick books under it to prop it up.

DoctorT - You took the words right out of my mouth. But, I guess, I shouldn’t be to surprised.
