I'm officially at the age where I see that commercial for the Craftmatic Adjustable Bed and think, "Sweet! Are you kidding me? You mean I can sleep in the shape of a U?"

In this stand-up style line, Heffron jokes about crossing an age threshold where products marketed to older or less-mobile consumers stop seeming pathetic and start seeming genuinely appealing. The Craftmatic adjustable bed—often advertised on late-night TV—becomes a comic symbol of aging: instead of aspiring to youthful toughness, the speaker now prioritizes comfort, support, and pain-free sleep. The humor comes from the exaggerated enthusiasm (“Sweet! Are you kidding me?”) and the absurdly specific image of sleeping “in the shape of a U,” which turns a mundane feature (adjustability) into a playful, self-deprecating confession about bodily decline and changing desires.
