Last night at Patrick’s birthday dinner:
X described to us the feeling of sleeping in a rice paddy during his military service, and being told that there was a very large spider hanging over his head.
Y [arachnophobe]: “Wow. I’d have to change my sheets.”
Z [X's wife]: “Sheets? You’d have sheets while sleeping in a rice paddy?!”
Y: “Well, I’d have to change my rice paddy, then.”
