dead serious

kelly  |  9 December 2008 - 7:21pm

"Hey Rob, I'm going to move our knife block out into the pantry for awhile."

"Why?"

"Okay. Here's the thing. I read about this man who stabbed his wife to death in his sleep. And now I'm worried that since I've read that, it's in my subconscious and I'll do it to you."

"You have got to be kidding me."

"And now that I've told you, it's in your subconscious and so I'm also worried you might do it to me."

"I'm sure he wasn't actually sleeping. That was just his defense."

"But there are other cases of this, too! One man drove 23 miles in his sleep and killed his in-laws!"

"Probably on meds."

"No, he was sleepwalking! They did tests! They tested his brain waves and stuff. He was acquitted because they proved he'd been asleep."

"Where are you reading this?"

"If you go to the Wikipedia article about sleepwalking, it links to an entry about homicidal sleepwalking."

"Ha! This keeps getting better."

"What? There's a name for it! It's REAL."

"You're not moving the knife block to the pantry."

"Yes I am. And now we need to stop talking about this because the longer we talk, the more it's going to be in our subconscious."

"Neither of us sleepwalk. This is ridiculous."

"I'm moving it."

"How will that even help? You can get to the pantry in your sleep."

"Yeah, but it puts additional barriers in the way. I'd have to go through two doors. Plus I'll shove it behind a bunch of stuff that's hard to move."

"If you do this, I'm going to blog about it."

"Fine, I don't care. At least you'll be alive."

"I can't believe you're serious about this."

"Dude, don't piss me off. I don't want to be mad at you in my subconscious."
