"You go on in, I’m just going to catch up with the moon for a few minutes."

'I wasted half my life perched on top of a mountain in the Himalayas. Only to discover that the true meaning of life was a night in watching the box, with a few cans of lager.'

Lemniskate

That midnight hour when fleeting memories come home to roost.

"The overthinker"

'It's midnight, do you know where your brain is?'

'That reminds me of the blind date I had last weekend!'

"My feeling is that while we should have the deepest respect for reality, we should not let it control our lives."

'So, ten thousand pounds could be yours if you call in and answer this question...Why the hell aren't you in bed?!'

'Mummy, can you please pull the curtain and make it dark please? I'm scared of the light...'

"I suppose you're wondering why I've summoned you here at 3 AM, minion." "I try not to wonder." "After crunching the numbers, I've determined we'd increase profits by being open 24/7." "We're in the suburbs. Everyone's asleep." "Not true. By being closed at 3 AM, we're missing out on the potentially-lucrative Igor the Wino clientele." "Go to the alley and give Igor a 1-for-the-price-of-2 coupon." "Very bad man."

"Honey, wake up. I had that dream again where I wake up and you get angry at me for waking you up."

"Let's go to sleep so that when we wake up today will be tomorrow."

"Someday, son, a giant conglomerate will find a way to harness the moonlight and make us pay for it."

"I also have trouble sleeping. I don't understand why. No one I talk to seems to have any trouble falling asleep."

Tomorrow's another day, he thought, unless I get lucky and sleep right through it.

"You could always make me laugh but you didn't."

"2 glasses of wine at lunch, I think I'm Socrates..."

'I know these safety meetings tend to run very late, however... '

"Wake up, baby. I just realized how my insomnia is all your fault."

"See, Timmy? No boogeymen under your bed — they're all out there."

Siggy

The dark side of the moon

"Ask not for whom the refrigerator hums..."

'Sometimes late at night I'm not sure the leading economic indicators know where they're going,'

"I had a dream that I was awake and trying to sleep and now I don't know what's going on."

'Frank! Cut that out and get back to work!'

"I dreamed my parents were still alive."

'It depends on whether you see yourself as yesterday's man, today's man, or tomorrow's man.'
