Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 22, 2020

Makes perfect sense. I think.

" we fa……". I can attest to that

But how do you know there’s no sleep-belching?

My dog and spouse both get bent about my talking in my sleep, in several different languages.

I’m not sure I believe Mothah Nay-cha. If you eat a couple of jalapeno burritos right before you turn in, …

I second that, ‘wondered nobody evah’.

Cap’n Eddie’s flight of fancy usually cover more exotic territory.

anyone else not showing like buttons today?

The odd lady (and I myself) have occasionally … well, you know. I think we were feigning sleep at the time.

I wonder if Captain Eddie smokes his pipe while sleeping.

I know that flatulence happens while you sleep.

Farting saves wear and tear on the throat

I don’t recall ever hearing someone sneeze in their sleep

I bet we could all use another Wiley Bear Coloring page while “Social Distancing” in our caves…er…houses!

Well, wondering what no one evah wondered is a mark of genius.

Great artwork actually.

If you fart,burp,and sneeze at the same time.You’ll surely die.Don’t try this at home ;)

Good to know!

Well, now we know. Some how I feel like a 3 year old and I want to ask ‘why’ about a dozen times.

I don’t think it’s possible to sneeze while sleeping

I reckon that whatevah happens in Eddie’s sleep is Petey’s fault.

But, we do belch in our sleep. Ask anyone that has GERD.

Apropos of nothing: The collective term for all these things is eructations. Just seemed like a good time to toss out a juicy-sounding word.

I have a smaller esophagus and throat because of an inherited condition so gas doesn’t rise so easily. If I sleep on my stomach, belches happen.

My Grandfather belched in his sleep.

Pretty sure my Papaw Jack belched in his sleep and often.

It’s very unlikely that we do sneeze in our sleep! https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/19227/do-people-sneeze-their-sleep-without-waking

(I looked it up a few months ago while in the throes of a bad cold.)

We sneeze in our sleep? (Are you quite sure?) Belching in one’s sleep is a whole lot easier to imagine.

Another dab of wisdom that comes with age: Never trust a fart.

How would you know unless you were monitored. Never heard anyone mention it. Belching is just air trapped when you eat.

In all, physical distancing from farts is far better than social distancing from farts. ;)

uh, reflux much?

Oh, I dunno. Aren’t belching and burping the same thing? Not to gross anyone out, but I do remember once when I was little I’d started vomiting in my sleep and I was making little burps as it came up. At least as I slowly woke up while it was happening, that’s what I was doing.

Not to change the subject, but what about hiccuping? I get hiccups every single day, often before I get out of bed, but I never hiccup while asleep, as far as I know.

We do burp in our sleep, it leads to GERD. I’ve also worked many night shifts as an RN observing sleeping patients. With that said I’ve seen many more sleeping people then most, and I’ve never seen anyone sneeze while asleep. Not without first awaking.

To this day, Mother Nature regrets not drawing the line a Lot Sooner.

maybe not an authentic belch, but I’d rather have that than gas that comes up with acid reflux during sleep because if yer breathin out thru nose when that happens it’s like sinuses got napalmed.

For my kids, when they were little, I called farts “butt burps”.

There’s a great scene in an obscure Julia Roberts moviewhere the great Gena Rowlands confronts the great Robert Duvall and will not let him pass through the frontdoor to their house and basically rips him a New one about his indiscretions (Something to Talk About)……The scene is close, In Close Ups as Rowlands’ characterbreaks down her life’s frustrations in her husband’s face!At one point the camera focuses on Duvall as he get’s this brutal tongue lashing and he doesn’t REACT AT ALL!!!Then she let’s go with "AND YOU FAHT IN YOUR SLEEP!!!!The twitch like reaction on Duvall’s face is PRICELESS!

But I have belched in my sleep before …
