It has been confirmed that I, Chunky, am going to hell. The sin? Falling asleep during the church service and getting caught by the pastor! My head must have bobbed up and down a hundred times as I attempted to resist falling asleep. At least I wasn't snoring... I hope. Afterwards, my pastor (who was delivering the sermon as I dozed off) politely informed me about my "nodding off" (I was praying, I swear!!...uuhhhh, wait-a-minute, scratch that). The worst part is that I am new to the church, don't even know the pastor's (or anybody else's) name, and was one of 125+ people in the chapel (I must have snored really loudly or slumped over on the pew).

Oh well, I'm attributing my heinous behavior to working all day Saturday and taking that late-night jog. On the bright (and hot!) side, at least I'll know to pack the "flame suit" in my coffin!

BTW, if anyone has nodded off in a similar fashion (be it in a meeting, during a sermon, or (horror of horrors!) at the wheel, etc.), please console me and entertain this wonderful board by sharing your stories.

That's a funny story!!!

 

Okay, well I am certainly not proud of this one, but I fell asleep driving a few years ago.

We had been down in Cornwall (South West England) for a long weekend, with very late nights and long walks during the days. Driving home on the Sunday night, I had made it most of the way home (keeping myself alert by driving pretty fast ).

I was on a dual carriageway (A3 for those who know it) when the tiredness really struck me. Fortunately I had a friend in the car and he noticed my head "bob", he shouted at me and brought me back to my senses very quickly, but it scared the sh!t out of me!!!!!!!!!!!

I stopped on the hard shoulder straight away to get some fresh air and stretch my legs. Fortunatley I only had about 20 minutes to get home by then, but that tought me NEVER to drive when you are that tired!!!!!

 

i was coming home from a night in santa cruz and going over hwy 17. once I got onto 85N, I realized that I slept thru the trip over the hill

 

what the hell's sleeping?

 

btw, the Sondra-terminology for it is:

chch - (pronounced Ch-uh-Ch), its called chch because U R not there! (or at least, I'm not.)
