Parody ZOT of Free Republic

If you have a sense of humor, and can poke fun at yourself:

[Das Outsider]

Lure him with peanuts?

No. You open the door, put him in, and close the door.

So how do you get a giraffe into the refrigerator?

[Monkey Face]

Same way...only different.

[Das Outsider]

It's only 4:30. Why am I so tired???

Hard work? Long hours? Listening to Bill O' Reilly?

[Das Outsider]

Same way...only different.

No. You have to take the elephant out of the refrigerator first.

So you're invited to a party, and all but one animal can come: which one is it?

[Monkey Face]

The Party Animal, of course.

[Das Outsider]

The Party Animal, of course.

The giraffe, since he's still in the fridge.

Later, you're walking on the way home from the party when you come to a swamp. A sign says "DANGER: ALLIGATORS." What do you do?

[Monkey Face]

I call Pogo, of course. It's his home, so he knows how to handle alligators...;o]

[tuliptree76]

Sorry!

[Das Outsider]

I call Pogo, of course. It's his home, so he knows how to handle alligators...;o]

Nope. You swim across. Why?

All of the alligators are at the party.

[Monkey Face]

LOL! Maybe it's just time you took some time and rested...

[tuliptree76]

I've been going to bed early and sleeping in lately. I think my internal clock is messed up. I don't know why I'm getting 8 hours of sleep at night. I might be getting too much sleep.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Woot!

[Monkey Face]

I am in awe.
Your superior knowledge of the arcane and unknowable is astounding.
May I buy you a drink?
Or will the giraffe already have drunk it?

[Das Outsider]

I might be getting too much sleep.

Some people max out at six or seven hours; anything beyond that leaves them tired. It could be seasonal, as well.

[tuliptree76]

I lost time from resting while I was sick.

[Monkey Face]

LOL!
As long as I've known you, you have kept some odd hours with very little sleep. Perhaps it's time now to just let the sleep come when it wants. Your body must need it, or you wouldn't be doing it.

[Das Outsider]

Poppycock! Giraffes don't drink!

The little test that I put you through was actually part of a communications study done years ago which did show that children around the age of five or six are better at solving certain problems than adults.

[Monkey Face]

I used to make do quite nicely on 6-7 hours a night, and be full of energy. Now, however, I never feel rested, no matter how much sleep I get.

I would rather be working and getting 6-7 hours of sleep a night. :o[

Oh great! Now I have GUILT! (Rexy in Toy Story)

[tuliptree76]

I suppose I'll go lay down for a while. I'll be back later.
