De-Bunk-Her

This seems to have been a game at the famous 1939 World's Fair. I find this partial description: "Termed 'De-Bunk-Her,' it consists of two beds, on each of which a lovely lady lies, with a target between. For a quarter the participant gets ten throws at the target..."

No tub of water? That's no fun.

One figures this game was probably aimed at young men... who are usually more interested in getting girls INTO bed.

I'm glad my mom never saw this! My dad was a mechanic and a carpenter. She would have had him rig my bed like that she could get me up for school (when I turned 14, I discovered I'm nocturnal).
