No Booze Here!


On Tuesday night I was having a really tough time staying asleep.  It was awful.  Those of you who have lived with me, or know me really well, know that I don't wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night (sorry if that was an overshare). But I did just that on Tuesday night.  This is all to illustrate how bizarre this night was.  OKAY, so here is the snippet of a really weird dream that I remember.  I woke up and wrote down the dialogue that was just spoken in my dream... Here goes:

Scene: 1920's during the infamous Prohibition days.  Two men are confronted by a police officer on the street under a lamp post.  One man is very sick (if you catch my drift) the other is patting his buddy on the back and speaking with the officer.

Officer: What in tarnation is going on here? Is this fellow under the influence? That is punishable by law you know...

Man: Oh officer, of course he is not under the influence...he is...under the influenc....under the influenza!  Yes, he has influenza, and quite a bad case of it, as you can see.  No booze here!

The end.  

How the heck did my brain come up with the origin of the word influenza?  That is just crazy.  What in tarnation?!

  1. haha. That's funny. I just like the "no booze here." By the way I had a dream that included both Patrick Francom and Jake Cannon. I remember Jake and I were like best friends, and Patrick and I were trying to figure out we never went on dates. haha. WEIRD. I love dreams.
