Funny sleep story: My friend Sharrod in my first year college had narcolepsy. He'd turn his head a certain way, and fall straight asleep. Usally sitting upright, with his head tilted back and mouth wide open. He did this during a test once in a huge lecture hall, and I almost got booted for cheating for shaking him awake. It was frikkin hilarious. Erm... guess you had to be there.
Skippy, your gutter story reminds me of a certain Who song.
It also reminds me of the time I went to Mardi Gras with friends -- for 3 days -- with no place to sleep other than a truck.
