Now that golf has apparently been inducted into the Olympics as an official sport, I think it’s only fitting that the next logical step is to create the sport of ultimate napping. Think about it; choosing the most awkward, populated place to sleep while adding an element of danger -- be it traffic or the chance of getting accosted by a mugger -- ultimate napping is right set up to be the next big competitive event.
Seeing who can fall asleep the fastest in a construction site or sleep the longest standing up. If it does get into the Olympics, they’ll just have to devise a way of testing anyone guilty of NyQuil use.
