Stop Snore Discrimination (Humor)

[mikemoran]

Saw a post here the other day that really got my hackles up. Someone was actually recommending and Anti-Snore shirt. Isn’t there enough dissension in the world? Can’t we just get along? Don’t people have better places to apply their energy? Why would anyone start protesting the simple snore?

Sure it can be annoying, and we all know it can be an indicator of something much more life threatening, but look at how much it has given us:

Would the three stooges sleeping be as funny if one of them wasn’t bringing down the ceiling?

How would inner city kids ever experience the sound of a log sawing if it wasn’t for the snore?

Would the glass industry be as big if it weren’t for the cracked panes generated by night time window rattling?

Now if you were a burglar would you choose the quiet dark house or the one where the shingles are fluttering from the rumble inside?

How can teenagers know when it is safe to sneak out their windows if they don’t hear dad’s all clear alarm?

So what will it be next folks? Anti-Hiccup shirts? Anti-Flatulence shorts? Once we start down this path of banning semi-autonomous body reactions where will it end? Careful, one day these proper folks might not think breathing is socially acceptable.

So instead of protesting the humble snore I say we should celebrate them.

LOL, Mike! Love your humor.

Indeed we should celebrate them! As the clarion call to "get thee to a snore study" where they can be properly appreciated all night long by observant connoisseurs of all things sleep related!

I agree- absolutely. People shouldn't be discriminated upon, and once we start doing so, such as in the case of the anti-snore shirt, we start down a very very slippery slope of discrimination against people for things that Are natural-

Noone should be discriminated again... ever.... for any reason... except for maybe blinkers- that might be ok... and, well, maybe smilers, that too might be acceptable... oh and ear wigglers... who could idspute that those folks don't need discriminating against... and before I forget, maybe folks who click hteir teeth too... that would be an acceptable form of discrimination... and perhapswinkers too, I don't see anythign wrong with discriminating against them, as long as it's done with taste... and perhaps twitchers too, that might be alright... and I don't think it would be uinreasonable to discriminate against nail lcickers ewither...

But other than that, noone should be discriminatedagainst...ever... for any reason... except for maybe bad spellers... oh wait, that would be me--- Scratch that one off the list.

P.S, just as a side issue- I have several jars full of snores which I'm selling for the low low price of $19.95 per jar... BUT .... if you act now, I'll throw in another jar for absolutely free ... BUT you MUST act now because supplies are limitted. Not sold in stores... this is an exclusive online offer for anyone who wishes they had a jar full of snores.

Agreed. People who protest snores are being discriminating and judgemental. I believe this is an endemic part of our culture. Looking at the world as being full of snorers rather than being grateful for the people who don't snore. I think the Anti-Snorers should be sought out and shown the evil of their ways. Trying to stop snoring, indeed.

We need to start a campaign to defend the right to snore and to include the right to snore in the Bill of Rights. I am not sure if this will help defend the rights of people in OZ who want to snore so maybe we need to go to the UN instead.

Mike, thank you for bringing this vital issue to our attention. Perhaps we can deal with this situation on CPAPtalk by asking a screening question when a person signs up. Are you over 18? do you believe in the right to snore.

And then we need some zealots. Highly motivated defenders of the right to snore who are willing to sacrifice their "delete spam" buttons by deleting offensive snore put down posts.

We need to start a flame thread , call people names, insult them and get them out of our midst. FAST.

We cannot and should not have any discrimination on this list. Get rid of these people , I say. They have to go. No discrimination allowed.

JOIN OUR CAUSE. Get rid of the anti-snorers.
If you are not with us, you are agin us and we will get you too.

I've seen discussion of anti-flatulance undershorts. They use activated charcoal. Instead of putting down the snorer or the um... tooter, we should each ware ear plugs or nose plugs rather than the other way around if you get my drift.

Mike,

You soooo right.

Isn't there an constitutional amendment about the right to Snore?!

Doesn't the 11th Commandment say: Thoust shall snore, at least until diagnosed with sleep apnea?

And when is the National Snore Month?

I'm right with you Mike, standing right behind you, hose and all and tooting for emphasis!

Perhaps I'll be able to tell my grandchildren how I was there at the founding of the Snore Pride movement. Perhaps I'll get to take part in the first local Snore Pride Parade being pushed down the stree in a wheeled bed by my patient wife (wearing industrial headphones, of course)!

[Goofproof]

We should mass for a 10,000 Snore march, to draw media attenton to our cause. As we marched through the street, we could look into the masses for people falling asleep, and maybe find a few converts. jim

Mike, you are soooo funny!

Do you also sell jars of dehydrated water (just add water) ghosts in a can? Throw in the water and you've got yourself a deal.

lol that's a good one Geo- I'll have to remember that one- concidering water sells for quite a bit these days, I should make a bundle lol

[BrianRT]

a 10,000 Snore March??

God, could you imagine the decibels when the sun goes down??


I think we could get snoring accepted by slipping it into popular culture under the radar.

The first way could be to get a rapper to incorporate sampled snores into a dance beat. THAT's how you win the next generation.

In 1966, I had the mis-fortune to spend 3 hours in the airport in Anchorage, Alaska, while our 707 was being worked on. In the lobby was a Giant Bear in a glass case, they also were selling clean air packaged in tin cans @ $.50 a can. Maybe seeing the Apnea that developed later, I should have took a case. Jim

[Nazareth]

Excuse me sir- would you happen to have clean air in a can?

Why Yes, Yes I do.
