You know how some people tell you the same story over and over again and it gets kind of boring and you really, really wish you could take a quick nap but you don't want to hurt their feelings?
So you sit there sneakily pinching your leg to stay awake so the person doesn't know that you're bored out of your skull because...
Your Momma told you to always be polite and you're not quite sure how to politely say, "Please stop talking. You have told me this story a million times before and you're putting me to sleep?"
I mean...
Not that anything like this happens with anyone I personally know (or might be married to, ahem...)
But...
I came up with this genius idea to accomplish both things at once...politeness and napping...
But...
Sadly...
Once I googled this I found that someone else thought of the idea first.

Darn. Since I hate to be a copycat I guess I can't make my appointment at the tattoo parlor for this weekend after all.
And I was soooo looking forward to catching up on my sleep.
Sigh...
