Short Story Mattress Sale

Farley Henderson is a retired lawyer who thinks he's ahead of the curve when his mattress develops a split seam. It doesn't matter that he bought the mattress over 40 years ago at a going out of business sale. The mattress came with a lifetime guarantee from the manufacturer, who still is in business, and Farley Henderson still has the purchase receipt, but the manufacturer never banked on having to honor a 40 year guarantee.
