I have a TV in my bedroom, and I use the sleep timer on it quite a bit. In doing so, I've found that certain sitcoms help me fall fast asleep.
It appears that metered doses of dialog, backed up by a consistent laugh track can lull me to sleep far better than any pharmaceutical. The Golden Girls is particularly useful for this purpose. For better or worse, some of the "humor" presented in the episodes I fall asleep to tends find its way into my waking consciousness, which probably explains why I think prunes are so darn funny, but I consider that a small price to pay for a peaceful night's sleep.
Peaceful that is until the other night when I heard something that made me bolt upright in bed. Although Donna isn't an especially popular name, for some reason or other the producers of the new teenage slasher movie Prom Night chose it as the name of the movie's main character.
As I was drifting off to sleep, a commercial for the movie came on which caused me to A) hear the following sound bite, and B) narrowly escape peeing my pants!:

That's horrible... There must be Donnas all over the country who wish the teacher got the job done three years ago. (I think I got the premise right. Maybe I need to watch that damn trailer 200 times more, to be sure).
Now that is funny!
