Description

Fictional story about a man who gets drunk and ends up accidentally sleeping in his neighbour's bed. A woman locks herself out of her house but is able to get in by borrowing her neighbour's key which also fits her front door. Her buffoon of a husband returns home after bumping into a woman on the street. He eats the dog's dinner by mistake and heads off to 'the pub' to drink with the lads. By 10pm he's drunk and after getting a taxi home he mistakenly walks up to his neighbours' front door rather than his own. His key fits the lock and before long he is undressing in the bedroom where he gets a shock as he discovers a man is already in the bed.
