I woke up early enough this morning to catch the last ten minutes of an I Love Lucy rerun.  It was the episode where Lucy loses her wedding ring.  She thinks it must have happened while Ricky was masoning a new barbeque out back.  That night, she and Ethel sneak out of bed and take the barbeque apart brick by brick.  The ring is not there.  They’re forced to stay up the rest of the night, putting the barbeque back together.  Despite their all-nighter effort, the sloppily leaning structure Ricky finds in the morning immediately gives them away.

 

All I could think was, “Man!  It’s a good thing they slept in those separate beds!  Ricky surely would have felt her sneaking out in the middle of the night or noticed she wasn’t there otherwise.  Separate beds come in handy when you’ve got early morn shenanigans to pull!  Separate bed SCORE!”
