When the power went out earlier this week, we got out the air mattress to sleep in front of the fire. Our pump was low on charge, so we could only partially inflate it -- less than satisfying.

I decided to order a manual pump for future emergencies. When I search one sporting goods store for "coleman hand pump", one of the first results is for "Dickinson Arms Marine 12-Gauge Tactical Shotgun".

"Honey, can you blow up the air mattress?"

BLAM!

@georgetakei: Oh my.
