Monty by Jim Meddick for May 29, 2022

Their hospitality left an impression

On a trip to England, we were staying in a B&B, and as our host showed us our room for the night, he explained that we had 3 choices for how we could be notified about that 2nd “B” the following morning. They could either (1) “knock us up” (yes, the exact phrase) or (2) ring us up (phone in the room) or (3) send in the wake-up cat. We have no idea if anyone ever chose options 1 or 2; we certainly didn’t.

That bar and I are old friends,

This is too meta for me.

That’s similar to the round ball imprint i wake up with when my naughty little dachshund puts his ball right next to me on the bed, trying to get me to play fetch as I’m falling asleep lol

I remember a hide a bed like that in the 60s. ouch.

Monty has friends!!!!!!

My first thought was he wandered into the wrong house after getting drunk and they were being very polite until he leaves in case he was someone dangerous.

I wonder why they don’t have the strip from the 22nd.

Sleep with your head the other direction and the bar is at a less annoying location.

Elaine Benes knows a lot about that. :-D

Who are these people? Random strangers?

What a surprise! Monty has friends that allow him to come over and spend the night!

As any convertible sofa sleeper knows, the dreaded bar hits you mid-thigh. (“Seinfeld” had a scene about that.) Monty would’ve had to be sleeping the other way around for it to get him in the back.

That looks painful.

Who are these people?

Those hosts set the bar for hospitality low.

Where you put guests whom you don’t want to stay for too long.

Family or friends? Holiday visit by Monty?

All answers welcome, bar none (I promise)….

Always always sleep in the guest accommodation occasionally. I had to put a stinky pillow out the door, then had to explain to friend the next morning and suggest washing it or bagging it with a box worth of baking soda for a week or so. They tossed it in the trash and bought new.
