Ripley’s Believe It Or Not once said the easiest job in history was a guy who only had to lean out a window every hour all night and blow a horn. But I question that being easy- it means he never got a good night’s sleep, and would be exhausted all the time due to a lack of REM sleep.
I was so sleepy after trying to get off a graveyard schedule so I could take a long car trip that I was falling asleep while driving. So I had to sleep in my car at a rest area, using it to actually rest. After snoring myself awake a few times, I actually slept for an hour, which is the time limit at Washington State rest areas now. And ground my teeth. It was hot so I had to sleep with the window rolled down. I wonder if it would have been possible for someone to open the door, pull me out and find my keys before I was awake enough to fight back. I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.

What Rat enjoys the most is stealing wallets of sleeping people.

Rat, how many days do you just live life instead of talking about it?
