Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for December 08, 2020

Second panel, LOL!! I’ve looked just like that, Horace! ;-D

Panel 2: Those are the days when coffee becomes superfluous.

He should be training at the local track!!

This Guernica moment brought to you by Hell’s Bells, the untrustworthy alarm clock.

((((((((((( N E I G H ! ))))))))))

Alarming

so on average… it’s nice and quiet there…!

A “friend” asked me for a wake up call, because she knew that my eyes pop open ridiculously early. So I called her at 6:00 ㏂, and she cursed at me for waking her up. I hung up on her, and she called back to scream at me for hanging up on her.

A couple of months later, she asked for a wake up call. Hey, I’m a nice guy, so I called her at 6:00 ㏂. And got cursed out for waking her up. I hung up, and turned off the phone. She screamed at the voice mail.

A couple of months later, she asked me for a wake up call. Hey, I’m not an idiot, so I didn’t call her at 6:00 ㏂. And at about 7:30, she called to scream at me for letting her over sleep.

I no longer speak to her.

I would have gone round, the first time, and shoved her phone where the sun don’t shine.

I was on a job in the north and woke up to bright sunshine. I panicked, the hotel was to call me at 7 AM. Turns out it was 4 AM and up there sunrise is really early in the spring. Winter is another story

For many years, I slept with an air cleaner fan in my room. I had it on a timer. When it went turned off in the morning, I immediately woke up. A “negative alarm” can be effective without being such a jarring way to start your day.

Looks like the horse in Picasso’s Guernica painting.

I recognize the horse in the second panel — Guernica anyone?

It tried to wake you up, Horace. You just didn’t hear it.

He is staying up too late.

Silly horse, it’s not a competition!

I can so relate to this.
