you are sleeping on cooties!

I saw a sign in the window of a dry cleaning shop that said "Would you sleep on sheets that hadn't been washed in six months? What about your pillows?"

That made me think about breathing mites and allergens right out of the poly-fil, just sucking them up in my sleep. The sign was trying to persuade us to dry clean our pillows, but then we'd be breathing dry cleaning chemicals. So I just bought new pillows. Five bucks each in El Barrio -- a perfect example of an affordable luxury!

What's in your pillows? Now I've got you thinking about mites and mildew and the dead skin cells of all your exes.

My pillows are pristine.
