Twisted and tangled

Overheard at the part-time writing gig, supposedly while I was writing the latest edition of my fabulously popular newsletter. I specialize in sarcasm, in case you didn't pick up on it right there.

Me: Listen to this, according to Sleep to Be Sexy, Smart and Slim (the latest addition to 'Today on my desk') the author recommends you sleep naked. She says, "It's easier to adjust your comfort zone with the sheets and blankets you can pull up or thorw off rather than a long nightgown or a pair of fleece pajamas. The idea is to make the adjustment in a way that rouses you from sleep the least."

I could never do that. I just get too cold!

Bodiless voice from the next cube, who happens to be our IT guy: But it's true! It's much easier to throw on covers or kick them off.

Me, catching the eye of my editor MK, who looks horrified: But what about stickage? I hate when you spoon naked and your skin sticks.

IT guy: Get a thin cotten sheet and slide it between, you can still spoon but you won't stick.

Me: Well, it seems like (IT guy) likes to sleep NAAAKEEED!

IT guy: Now wait, that's an assumption.

Me: Are you kidding me? You just gave a detailed explaination about why someone should sleep naked and how, it is a good assumption.

IT guy: But how can you know if it's really true or not?

MK: I'm just going to go hide in the bathroom now .... Call me when it's time for lunch.
