He puts the blank in blanket.

Change the sheets, maybe that’ll work!!!

Spooky.

They’re literally ghosting each other.

Well what else can ya expect in a sheety relationship.

Boo hoo.

It’s like there was nothing there to feel.

Maybe it has something to do with both of you being so cold.

He tried but I guess the spirit didn’t move you.

I guess she ex-specter’d more.

That’s what she said.

Try starch.

If you’re drifting apart, call on Einstein. He knew a thing or two about spooky action at a distance.

Maybe they’d feel something if their partner was a fitted sheet.

Try a new wrinkle

What don’t they feel?

He’s not a bed wetter.

They are both noncorporeal.

They’re two sheets to the wind…

They forgot to follow ghost protocol.

I got it up banshee did nothing.

That’s it, I’m throwing in the towel.

Then where’d this ectoplasm come from?

Who is on the wet spot?

Well, I got the chills!

Have fun explaining this one to your kids…

They didn’t have a ghost of a chance.
