Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for January 25, 2025

Why do I think this is so hilariously clever? Because I know gobs of people with their weighted/security blankets? They must work, but they’re a hindrance in the spirit world.

It’s weighted, not waited.

Kind of like spiritual ankle weights.

Back in the 1970’s I was stationed in Japan. When people ask me where in Japan, I reply, “Korea.” I spent more time there than at home.

There is a lot of shopping to do in Korea and one of the items they sell is “mink blankets.” I don’t know what the real material is, but I can tell you that they weigh about 40 pounds and that they WILL keep you warm on the coldest of nights. Just make sure that you head to the bathroom before going to bed. Struggling to get out from underneath one of them will wake you up.

The best time to buy them was when the temperature was 90 degrees outside. Bargaining for a blanket was a lot easier then.

We have several. Who knew that weighted blankets would become a “thing?”

Who’s the weighted ghost? Alexander the dumb Bell?

A least it is not a fitted sheet, then it would be on the wrong way

Yeah, but think about the exercise benefits. That ghost’ll be outracing you in no time.

He is about to have an ecological epiphany. He will dump the weighted blanket and go ‘electric’.

Being over-weight he doesn’t stand a ghost of a chance of keeping up.

Never mind him, he ghost too slow.

They should ghost him!

Wow, some ‘friend’.

It was Earth bound to happen…..his transparency is showing….

why are ghosts always white? and the grim reaper always black?

Boo !
