Unplanned naps
I was under the influence of antihistamines one night during a Grange meeting and we had all just enjoyed a hearty dinner prior to the meeting. To my embarrassment, I dozed off during some votes on bids that were coming in for meeting hall improvements. I even abstained from one vote because I was concerned that I had not been able to stay awake for the details of that bid.
So, when I heard that Vice President Cheney had been caught napping during a Cabinet meeting, I had some degree of empathy for the man. The problem is that my doze came during a discussion over what color to paint the interior of an old building. The Vice President's doze came during a discussion of a rash of wildfires that killed people, displaced a huge number of Southern California residents, endangered fire and emergency personnel and will bring Federal Aid to our state (which means all American taxpayers must help pay for it). Next time maybe he should just ask the person seated next to him to bump his arm and cough loudly if they see his head start to bobble.
