It was a literal case of the sheets hitting the fans.

And if this unfortunate incident were to occur again, it would be a case of "same sheet, different day".

Bad Pun 1:

So, when it was discovered that the sheets were riddled with holes, did the officials say "Holey Sheet!"?

Bad Pun 2:

When they finally got around to clearing that mess, did the supervisor yell to the manual labourers - "Pull Sheet!" ?

Bad Pun 3:

One pillar to another : "I can't take this sheet any more!"
