      Is that any worse than the gentleman’s club ad recently published in the Philadelphia Daily News which promised an experience “where everything is left to the imagination”?

      That’s my pillow.

      And I want it back.

      Perhaps it was used for smothering in a third world coup?

      When the post-literate aren’t sure about what a prefix means, they often assume it’s an intensifier.
      So “infamous” must be very famous indeed, just as “penultimate” is more ultimate,

      Unless the “Three Amigos” were wrong, infamous means “more than famous”. This sounds like an excellent pillow.

      “What does that mean? ‘In-famous’?”

      “In-famous is when you’re more than famous.”

      “This man El Guapo is not just famous, he’s in-famous.”

      “A hundred thousand pesos to do a personal appearance with El Guapo…who is probably the biggest actor to ever come out of Mexico!”

      I wonder if the pillow is infamous because it is inflammable?

      I know this pillow. It seems like a nice, harmless pillow. Most nights out with it start out pretty normal, but at some point in the evening, the pillow decides to order shots, no one objects, things go downhill from there, and you wake up the next morning with a hangover and a tattoo you’ve never seen before and your friends tell you to check the police blotter if you want to know what happened.

      “Save 20%” sounds enticing, but believe me, it’s not worth it.

      Or an “epicenter” is very central.

      Does this infamous pillow facilitate infamous crimes?

    13. readery says:

      Does it facilitate infamous crimes?

      Does its notoriety come from pillow talk?

      How do you make infamous pillow talk?

      How do you know this isn’t just a regular pillow intended for infamous traveling?

      Reminds me of the SkyMaul parody they had… featuring Skymonkeys, the where’s grandpa? map and much MUCH more!

      If I had a million dollars to spend on formenting nothing but chaos I’d (among other things) buy them out and replace the inflight catalogs with them.

      Wouldn’t that make it an infernal device?

      If it’s infamous, maybe that’s why they need to lower the price…
