The Sleeping Man Talks ... and the World Laughs

You wouldn't think somebody would be funnier when they're asleep than when they're awake, but I would be surprised if London advertising account director Adam Lennerd is as amusing by day as he is by night.

His wife Karen Slavick-Lennard started recording the funny things he said in his sleep and sharing them with her friends on her "Sleep Talkin Man" blog, according to the UK's Telegraph. She sets a voice recorder while he sleeps and sifts through in the morning to find the five or six minutes each night in which he rants and raves about all manner of adventurous and strange things.

Once the quotes were out on the Internet for all the read, it went viral. In just five days, the blog has seen more than half a million visitors from at least 50 countries. So what's the big deal? How could a little sleep babbling really be that funny? Check out the quotes below and see for yourself.

"Your mum's at the door again. Bury me. Bury me deep.""Shhhhhhhhh. Shhhhhhhhh. I'm telling you: your voice, my ears. A bad combination.""I'm making pillows. Burn them slowly, keeps them fluffy! Mmmmmm, pillows.""Potato bags. I can't find my potato bags. I need them desperately. Who's got my potato bags?""Vampire penguins? Zombie guinea pigs? We're done for ... done for.""Oompa loompas don't sing in heaven. They tidy up the clouds"

And my personal favorite: "I haven't put on weight. Your eyes are fat."
