Function Words

I've just discovered that I can use a kitchen funnel as a rudimentary ear trumpet to amplify the hissing sounds coming from the leak in my *#&*!#%# areo bed. This is the 19th leak I have had in this piece of garbage! It has never been used on anything but a clean carpeted floor. All of the leaks occur in the corners of the impressed indentations. It is clear that it is a defective product. Finding the leaks is a maddening exercise because they are usually pinholes when they start as the plastic gives way at it weak points. They always occur while someone is sleeping on the bed. By the time they realize it is going flat they have spent a miserable night sinking to the floor. Aerobeds suck!!!

This time the leak was under an already patched area where the glue was not completely solid. I tried to find it for four days. I could not feel the tiny wind issuing from the hole and I could not hear the hiss until I thought of using an ear trumpet. What a cool, retro device. It does amplify nearby sounds effectively. I found the hiss quite easily with my kitchen funnel.
