Matt brought up the topic of sheep, now I would like to throw in my 2 pennies worth of sheep talk. There’s nothing like having a yarn about sheep, sheering your stories with one another.
Who the hell decided that if you cant get to sleep you should count sheep?
I can understand if you’re a shepherd and you have to count your flock before you go off to sleep, but if this was the case you would also have to count them when you woke up just to make sure some of your sheep hadn’t caught a boat off to the middle east while you where sleeping. And also it shouldn’t be something you do to get to sleep because if you fall asleep half way through counting you will never find out how many sheep you have, you would wake up in the morning and start counting again but you wouldn’t know how many you had last night so your count would be meaningless and the fact that if counting sheep makes you sleepy then you would fall asleep again.

Maybe it was invented by a New Zealander “hey bro lits count ship” “oh yeah that id be choice”. Seeing as there is nothing else to do in a land that is over run by the wooley mammals. Infact it would probably be a good idea if everyone in New Zealand counted sheep before bed they could gather together everyone’s count and work out how many sheep they have in NZ

Tom while you’re in NZ do your part and count some sheep.

What about all the people who live in places where there are no sheep, do they lay awake all night wondering what the hell a sheep is and how am I supposed to count it if I don’t know what it is, there are probably whole countries full of people who are pumping themselves with anti-depressants and sleeping tablests because they all lay awake at night trying to count sheep. Not succeeding.

This is a global problem, and its high time someone did something about it!

Governments around the world should put out new strategies of sleep for their people, the Canadian government could tell their people to count Moose, the Americans could count the amount of stupid things that george w has said, The Tasmanians could count their heads, the russians could count the empty vodka bottles beside their beds. The list goes on, I say ditch the sheep unless your in the middle east then take the sheep, count them then eat them. But if your not in the middle east or New Zealand, don’t count sheep. Make it local, make it relevant, make it real.

I like to count the amount of cokes I have had in that day
