I find I can't resist pointing out that if one was to consider the
"turbulence" created by following the vectors of a person's center of
mass while in bed, with one person sleeping in the bed one would find
that one had a case of "pancake turbulence". With two people, however,
quite likely there could be an interspersed episode(s?) of "cigar
turbulence" in which, for a short time, the velocity fluctuations were
primarily vertical oriented rather than horizontally oriented.
