    I like to have a nice cup of coffee when I get up from my dirt nap in the morning.

    I’ve found a great way around this little philosophical dilemma: I don’t get out of bed until afternoon.

    I’m okay with the dirt nap. Either it’ll be heaven or it’ll be nothingness – either works. Unless, of course, I get reincarnated as Rat. That would be horrendous.

    You’re older than you’ve ever been and now you’re even older. And now you’re even older. And now you’re even older. You’re older than you’ve ever been and now you’re even older. And now you’re older still! (Many thanks ot TMBG!)

    Relax, Goat; it’s all in your perspective. Rat is just prone to hysterics.

    Yup, told the kids that after 25 it’s all a downhill run. The oldest is working full time and going to school full time on his GI bill. He believes me.

    If you fall asleep at a mud bath at a spa, is that a dirt nap? My other guess is a clay absorbent in diapers.

    lol! The “Great Dirt Nap”. I’ve never (ever!) heard it put that way.

    Then one day you wake up, realize that birth and death are an illusion and that you are an immortal being, trapped on the wheel of karma.

    Then everything changes.

    Rat doesn’t have to worry about dying. Heaven doesn’t want him, Hell is afraid he’ll take over!!

    It’s not the closest you’ll ever be to your inevitable death, it’s the farthest you’ll ever be to your inevitable death. One hour after you wake up, you’ll be closer to your inevitable death than you were when you woke up.

    Not sure how death can qualify as a nap, but this is one of the better strips and the comments were OK too.
