Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 18, 2022

SleepMart should’ve hosted the talk.

Now, for a little excitement, we have dancing with walkers.

I think I’ve been to a few of those (or was it just a bad dream).

I used to read my Principles of Education text for that. Trouble was, I still had to pass the test.

dare say, Youtube does that fairly nicely nowadays.

And then they wake up with no memory of signing those political contribution donation pages with autopay every month

I thought it was Narcoleptics United. “What, where am I, who ARE you??”

I woke up in the middle of the night, could not get back to sleep, and found this. True story.

Thomas Carlyle was right.

A well regulated economy will sufficiently stifle “supply and demand” so that politicians will have to make more and more regulations until the economy collapses.

Obviously the speaker has found his own cure. Give speeches.

Morning Wiley, Great Toon, I love your work. Good Day

I’ve heard it said “stand up to be seen, speak up to be heard, shut up to be appreciated.”

I’ve been awake since 3 am, so this is slightly amusing.

I have no trouble sleeping during “luncheon” time. It’s getting myself to sleep before 5am that’s the issue. I sleep deepest 8-10am.

Colin Robinson at Toastmasters.

The best nap I ever got wat at the most important lecture of my life. I passed the test anyway. …life is weird.

In college I found Econ textbooks the perfect cure for insomnia. I was an Econ major. I was well rested.

Looks like every meeting we ever had at work.

Speakers (including preachers) who mainly read their messages are boring. Colonists sleeping in church were chastised: https://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/hellfire-whippings-woodchuck-bites-perils-puritans-sleeping-church/

The Pope chastises the preachers however: Preaching must awaken souls, not put them to sleep, pope says. https://cruxnow.com › vatican › 2022/01 › preaching-…Jan 24, 2022 — Preaching long, spiritually empty homilies can reduce the Word of God to a mere set of abstract concepts that fail to awaken one’s soul.

Great idea, now who bores the speaker to sleep?!

When I can’t sleep I just read one of my old university text books. Ten minutes later and I’m out like a light.

Trouble sleeping? One word, indica.

When Brahms wrote it,did he MEAN it to be a lullaby?

A lot of people who are insomniac can’t sleep at night but will get sleepy at work during the day (I’m one of them). I’ve become quite good at fidgeting and doodling during meetings.

Organic chemistry lecture

A minister of my acquaintance says he gauges the success of his sermon by the number of complements he receives from the ladies of his congregation divided by the number of men of his congregation who look well rested. 8>)

First words out of prof’s mouth on first day of Econ 101: “Demand is infinite; supply is finite; all else is commentary.”

I’ve found a new career . . . .
