| My apologies on the typo (the word "below" is written twice). We don't really have a mechanism for fixing typos on accepted teasers, so unless the typo affects the answer (which I don't think this one does), we leave it. Jake is the only one who could fix this and he's got lots of other important things to do right now. Oh, and for the record this was my mistake, not Samm's. |

Don't let the bedbugs bite.
If they do, hit them with a shoe! |

| Bedbugs are real, Rose  They can be found worldwide and they feed upon the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. They used to be relatively scarce, but their population has started growing. (Check www.hsph.harvard.edu/bedbugs) Sleep well |
