Subject: OFFER: Stinky wet futon mattress (Parmer-Mopac area)

I took this full-sized futon mattress on a camp-out this weekend and a
big water container leaked probably a couple of gallons of water on
it. As I've been trying to dry it out, I've discovered that a cat or
two has taken a tinkle or three upon it. So it's stinky, wet, and now
a bit muddy from the camp-out. It's currently sunbathing in my
driveway in hopes of getting dried out, but it will still be stinky
and muddy. It has a black mattress cover that could be zipped off and
washed, in theory.

What can you do with a stinky full-sized futon mattress? Why, a
million things!

*a dog bed
*a porch futon (throw a tarp over it, who will know?)
*a stunt double for a real futon mattress that dies in a firey car
crash in the latest summer blockbuster
*take off the otherwise perfectly good cover, autoclave and Febreze
the heck out of it, put it on your naked futon mattress, and take the
old mattress to use as kindling at Burning Man.
*a place to hide your family jewelry- who will look in the stinky
futon mattress? No one, that's who!
*let your imagination run wild.

Thanks,
Stacy
