SammiecatAnyone know what story this is?
A couple are laying in bed and it is the end of the world and one asks the other to go an shut off a leaky faucet. Anyone familiar with this??

dandelionWhich bears no relation to the story of that title from the film of "The Illustrated Man." Still waiting to find out where THAT one came from!

Braling IIFaugh! It was a nice day 'til you reminded me of that fillum!
And that should be "lying in bed", not "laying"; intransitive verb, you know.
