    That is an interesting euphemism...

    What a good idea. I've often commented on high hotel prices by saying "For that price, the bed should come with someone already in it.' ;)

    It probably is, but it's still fun to play along. ;)

    I could get a second job as a bed warmer?
    Has anyone else wondered if the bed warmers bring a pillow or do you get to sleep in the dribbled on patch on the pillow?

    You're only supposed to warm the bed, Pat, not heat it up to the point of leaving wet spots. Leave that job for the guests. ;)

    Shared bodily heat has served mankind well in harsh winters for hundreds of thousands of years. It beats sleeping with the dogs for warmth!

    There is a point where "bed warmer" becomes "fighting over the covers, and arguing about whether the window is open"

    :p

    Yeah, but that takes several years of marriage. This is just a hotel room. :tape:

    Remember the free turn down service in the Motor City Casino Hotel?

    Knock knock
    (Open door, there is a woman standing at the door.) "Hello, come in."
    "Good evening sir, I am here for your free nightly turn down service."
    "Oh, great. Would you like to have sex with me?"
    "As tempting as that sounds sir, no I wouldn't. Will that be all?"
    "Yes, thank you."
    "Good night sir, thank you for using the free nightly turn down service."

    So refreshing, just like at home.

    I guess the bed warmers are from the same section of the room service department.
