    JM>   I need quiet to get to sleep, unless I'm really dead on my feet.   
      
     I used to have classical music going in the background, but some of    
   what they call "music", I have to disagree. Some of these singers have   
   so much vibrato in their voice, it's like they have that huge belt   
   around their waist, and the machine is "shaking it and them".   
      
    JM>   I often use earplugs to cut out all sound.   
      
     Reminds me of a skit with ventriloquist Paul Zerdin. One of his   
   "dummies" is an old man, who got his hearing aid misplaced. It turns   
   out he had a suppository in his ear...then it hit him where his hearing   
   aid was. :P   
      
    JM>   Besides, the idea of the electricity being used at that time would   
    JM> keep me awake... :)   
      
     Well, I wouldn't expect you to moderate the echo if you were asleep. :P   
      
     Or, like the meme, where the elderly couple has been sitting on this   
   couch for a long time. The old man says "My butt's asleep", and his wife   
   replies "Yeah, I can hear it snoring".
