Paul Drysdale has spent nearly half a century dispelling the foundational myth that a waterbed will improve your love life. The North York-based salesman says the late Sue Johanson, a client and the iconoclastic host of the Sunday Night Sex Show, agreed with him, which Mr. Drysdale figures is authoritative proof.
