Do Not Sleep With This Woman

Give her the blanket or you die
Do you and your significant other ever argue over equitable sharing of bed linens when you sleep?  Sure you do, even if it's mostly in jest.  In my experience, it would be nearly impossible to find any two people who are comfortable with the same amount of coverage as they sleep.

At the Grumpy estate, this problem became apparent rather quickly.  Mrs. Grumpy likes it toasty warm, even in summer.  I, on the other hand, find it impossible to sleep if I feel the least bit warm.  We worked it out amicably, as I'm sure most couples do, and life goes on.

Not so with Tina Rucker of Myrtle Beach, SC.  The other night she felt that her boyfriend, Roger Beene, was hogging the covers.  Her solution?  She began choking him as he slept.  When the cops arrived he had choke marks around his neck and blood where her nails had cut his skin.

Tina was arrested for domestic violence, with the police report noting she was quite intoxicated and "uncooperative".   How well do you think Roger will sleep when she gets out?

This story is very flawed. We all know that women are the ones who hog the covers.

I'm with you. I'll go months in the Spring through Fall where I just sleep on top of the comforter with no blankets because I AM A MAN!!!

I can't sleep without having some covers over me, yet hate being warm. So I make sure the bedroom is a tundra and crack a window in the winter with the fan on.

And definitely the women that hog the blankets. They steal the blankets just like they steal souls.

When I stay in motels by myself I always look for a place where the windows can be opened. I once awoke in a motel room and my little travel alarm/thermometer said it was 56 degrees. Perfect.

All women will pull the covers and tell you, you are pulling them. Most women want it warmer than men do. I used to use a fan, carried it with me when I slept in a motel.

You people are ridiculous. Men steal the covers. I'll wake up and Tony is swaddled like a baby, while I've got three inches of covers and I'm on the edge of the bed. On the flip side, it has to be cold in the house at night. And the fan has to be on. 56 degrees is outrageous, but it needs to be below 70.

That's why I sleep in the basement. Nice and cool year round, hot rice packs used in the winter and no one to blame or choke for stealing the covers.

Unfortunately, I change my mind while I sleep a lot. Hog them one minute, throw 'em off the next and so on, and so on, and so on,and so on, and so on...maybe you know of what I refer?

I'm confused; I thought that was a photo of Roger.
