  1. I love them all, but found number 3 (by Salo) the funniest. The bed hopping ‘arches’ and the salesman’s angry facial expression while exclaiming was great!

    It reminds me of a great scene from a very funny ABC -TV movie ‘The Girl Most Likely To’ from 1973 starring Stockard Channing I re-watched recently, and it’s just as great now as it was then. How could it not be with Joan Rivers behind it?!
