  • I just bought my first pillow.

  • Doesn't that sound odd?

  • Every guy in this room has a pillow, but he has no idea where it came from.

  • Every guy in this room has a pillow.

  • You've had one all your life. You don't know where it came from.

  • Because guys don't buy pillows.

  • You've never bought a pillow in your life.

  • No, guys are issued pillows. Right?

  • I think when we're born we got a name, a mom, and a pillow.

  • I really think.

  • What? You've always had it. You took it for granted, right?

  • Went off to college, took it into the dorm with you.

  • You don't know where it came from.

  • Got your first apartment, there it was, right there pillow.

  • There's my pillow, right there.

  • I lost my pillow, I freaked out. I'd had it forever.

  • It's like, where am I going to get another one of those?

  • I ended up back at the information desk, in a shopping mall. Right?

  • A little information desk, with a little old lady right there.

  • She goes, "What happened to the one you were issued?"

  • I don't know.

  • And then the saleslady goes, "What kind of pillow do you want?"

  • Yeah, exactly. I'm like, "One like I had."

  • "A white one."

  • "Stains, mine had stains."

  • "Looked like a map of Eastern Europe."

  • "Is that still popular? Can I get that?"

  • If a woman comes into your life, you get a lot of pillows.

  • Like shoes, they like pillows.

  • How many pillows should be on the bed, sir?

  • 29, that's correct. That's correct.

  • I mean I go to bed at night, I can't really lie down.

  • It's just like flying coach. It's kind of like, "Oh. Oh, this is great. No, this is nice. No, I'm fine, honey. I'm fine."

  • "Hey, I can still see some of the comforter right here. Probably got room for another pillow right there."

  • And when you make the bed, you have to get the pillows in the right order. Right?

  • The first pillow is called the sham. It's the sham.

  • It's the biggest pillow on the bed. It has ruffles, that's how you know it.

  • And they call it the sham because that's what it is.

  • It's about $150 for that.

  • They were going to call it the scam, but that was a little too obvious. Let's call it the sham.

  • Then, the next pillow was the actual working pillow, the one you sleep on.

  • And then they even have smaller pillows, that go between the cracks of a larger pillow.

  • I think those are called grouting pillows. I'm not sure about that.

  • Have you ever seen a pillow in the trash? We can't bring ourselves to throw a pillow away.

  • I've never seen a pillow in the trash.

  • We don't throw them out after they get old. We stick them in the closet for guests.

  • Put them up there in the linen closet for guests.

  • To become like a little wafer over the years that go by. Little brown wafer.

  • If you have a sleepover at somebody's house, you never want the guest pillow. Right?

  • "Can I get you a pillow?"

  • "No, I've seen your fan mail, thank you."

I just bought my first pillow.
