There are three follow-up jokes to your first;
Finally got digs and the landlady said you'll have to make your own bed. Walked in the room to find some planks of wood, a bag of nails and an hammer.
At breakfast the following day i said to the landlady. "I want to discuss the oof over my head." "What about it?" she asked. I said, "I want one."
Then, on the second morning i complained to her about the cockroaches coming down the wall and crawling over my bed. "Move your bed away from the wall, then" she advised. "I did do" i replied, "but the cockroaches moved it back."
All the above from The Comedians - about a million years ago :-))
