Half-Asleep Man Pauses 20 Minutes Between Socks

I enjoyed this News In Brief from the latest issue of The Onion:

Half-Asleep Man Pauses 20 Minutes Between Socks
SANDPOINT, ID—Seated on the edge of his bed, Carl Thompson, 38, paused for 20 minutes with one sock on his foot and the other in his hand Tuesday. “Ugh, tired,” said Thompson, who was otherwise silent from 6:30 to 6:50 a.m. During that period, Thompson stared at the wall and teetered perilously close to a reclining position six times.

I can relate to that feeling from when I used to work for Steamatic. Their office is in Fort Worth (about 45 miles from here), and I had to leave at 7:30am each morning just to get there on time. That made for some tired mornings.

  1. Wimp! 7:30 is not even in the vicinity of early. And if you could just cut out all that time you spend blow-drying your hair — i.e., cut your freakin’ hair! — you’d save a ton of time.

  2. Hey. I’m just stating the facts. The last time I saw Alex, you could stick his finger in a socket and turn him into Yahoo Serious.

  3. Wow, a Yahoo Serious reference. I think Yahoo was taken out of the most recent edition of Allowable Pop Culture References. Though, I’m 100% positive that my brother gets the reference. (In fact, my brother and I might be the two people in the world that’ve seen more than one Yahoo Serious movie).

    (As of a couple weeks ago, his hair was still long.)
