If you "can't get no sleep" that's good because it's a double-negative meaning you get sleep. It would be much worse if you could "get no sleep". ;-)

I just got back from a 16 hour plane flight and it is impossible for me to sleep sitting up. I have to lie down flat and have silence, a fan going, no light and no interruptions for me to sleep. So I just went about 40 hours without sleeping.

It's funny hearing about wasps in the house. A couple years ago I lived on a farm and every year around the same date a swarm of honey bees managed to get into the house by squeezing through the cracks. It's damn scary hearing loud buzzing and suddenly seeing 50 bees hanging off your dining room curtains. I've also had a bat in the kitchen, a blackbird in my bedroom and an entire herd of sheep in my garage. (seriously!)

You know that counting sheep thing doesn't actually require real sheep.


You know the super-clichéd image of someone trying to sleep by counting sheep jumping over a fence one by one? I actually saw the exact image in real life at my house. There was a wood fence and all the sheep were jumping over it one by one ...and of course I counted. (who wouldn't?) I then got very tired... :-D

Perhaps it was a wet dream?



Yeah, you better hide! ;-)

Seriously, I don't know where all those stories come from about people screwing sheep. Mention sheep to anyone these days and they joke about sex with one. Have you ever looked at a sheep closely? They're pretty dirty and anyone thinking of screwing one must be one sick freak. Besides, sheep scare easily so I doubt anyone would be able to get close enough to screw one. I have heard news stories though of people in Africa screwing goats to avoid AIDS - even multiple guys sharing the same goat. I pity those poor goats.
