Maybe I shouldn't have laughed at those 8 million americans . . .

Sometime last year, I read a statistic that 8 million Americans believe they have been abducted by aliens. Well, abducted and "probed." Apparently, alien abduction is a particularly American phenomenon. I don't know why. I'm just reporting what I've heard.

Well, events over the weekend have me wondering if I was abducted . . . and promptly returned . . . by aliens.

I'll tell you my evidence . . . flimsy though it may be . . . and you tell me what you think.

I have a rather regimented sleep habit. I like to breathe cold air, but hate cold air on my skin. So, I sleep under several warm layers. At the moment, I have polar fleece sheets, a quilt, a silk filled comforter, and a regular comforter on the bed. I also have a thick memory foam pad on the bed. I fear smothering in my sleep, so I always sleep on my back . . . with the pillows scrunched up under my neck, and the covers pulled up to my chin. I also tend to be a light sleeper.

The other night, I woke up from a very deep sleep to find that I was face down, across the bed and on top of the covers. A position I never would have gotten into myself . . . even drunk . . . and I have no recollection of anything that would have put me in such a position.

My only conclusion is I was picked up by aliens . . . sucked out through the closed window . . . and immediately returned . . . returned so quickly they didn't even take the time to restore me to a moment before the abduction.

I am, however, willing to entertain other rational explanations. oh yeah, and my pants were on the foot of the bed. But that couldn't mean anything, could it?

Obviously you were abducted by the alien-abductor-in-training in the animated short that precedes Ratatouille.

Ding! Ding! Ding! I think Frenchy is exactly right!!! A trainee alien!!! It makes perfect sense. But, should I be insulted or relieved?

If your yard is still intact and nothing's bruised or broken, I'd say "relieved."
