What I sleep with

So perhaps it's time to start this post with a disclaimer and a riddle. 

Disclaimer: I'm tired and can't sleep so this may be nonsensical.

Riddle: What I sleep with.

It's hard and long.  It's smooth and has rounded corners that fit into my hand nicely.  It's made out of plastic and is very sleek.  It has controls on it and holds batteries...

it's a ......

Remote control.  What did *you* think it was?   Get your mind out of the gutter. 

I admit I'm laughing at my own bad joke.  No, I'm not perverted - I got the idea partly from jokes like this one *click*  and partly from the fact that I really do sleep with remote controls on occasion.  Yeah, that's right I've been falling asleep with the tv on.  I find the background noise reassuring and it seems to take care of the problem of laying there awake.  Though at times I wake up laying on them, (not as comfortable as it sounds).  Last night was sort of fun.   I must toss and turn a great deal.  I found myself with legs twisted into sheets, with the remotes in there too.

Well, that's more than you possibly ever wanted to know about me....

I helped a friend move today -  it went better than I thought it would.  I misunderstood what a couple at my friend's old building had said -  I thought they asked if she was moving (as we were taking cart fulls out to vehicles)  and I thought (didn't say) "no, it's a hobby - we take all her stuff out for a drive and then bring it back.   It's lots of fun.  You should try it."   Well as it turns out they were congratulating her on moving.  But for some reason my snarky comment has had me cracking up off and on throughout the day. 

Ever wonder if what you're thinking is actually funny or if it's just funny to you because you're tired/?
