Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for March 11, 2024

Dude, just because Sherm is a heavy-honkin’ sleeper doesn’t mean the missus is (or their kid). Pretty sure you’re gonna end up on a plate if you try.

Shall…shall…shall…doesn’t even look like a real word anymore.

Don’t push your luck, Hawthorne.

I’d long thought I was a very light sleeper … until my first couple of years in the Army. I had to sleep on the floor of a small building one night. In the middle of the night, a tall, heavy-set old sergeant accidentally stepped on my stomach. From his description of the event, I grunted “Oof” and didn’t wake up at all. Next morning, I wondered why my belly ached a bit.

A few months later, I was at some multi-national training, sharing a room with a couple of soldiers from Ireland. One morning, they apologized to me for coming into the room the previous night drunk and rather noisy. I said truthfully that I hadn’t heard any disturbance. That’s when Ted told his comrade, “Well, there you have it, Leo. He doesn’t go to sleep. He dies.”

Possibly the storm was just Sherman and/or Megan snoring their heads off.

I thought sharks don’t sleep?

I thought sharks don’t sleep?

Remind me to have lemon & butter ready for your “visit”.

I’ve slept through storms too.
