Religious Humor: Proverbs 26:14

"(As) the door turneth upon his hinges, so [doth] the slothful upon his bed." Proverbs 26:14
This is an example of hyperbole. Hyperbolic statements are intentional exaggerations (Greek = "throwing beyond") intended to make a point without being taken literally.  Turning back and forth on his bed, the lazy man is like a swinging door.  He moves around but gets nowhere.
