Pete visits the local movie theater one night to catch one of his favorite animated films, “The Road Runner Meets Bugs Bunny.”
He hasn’t been to the old theater for several years because he is usually in bed early each night. He’s pleasantly surprised to find the old, uncomfortable chairs have been replaced with loungers.
The film begins promptly, and Pete finds an extra comfortable lounger smack dab in the middle of the theater—a perfect seat! He places his extra-large diet cola in a convenient cup holder while holding a jumbo tub of seasoned, buttered popcorn on his lap.
The film continues for the next 90 minutes or so, and the theater is filled with hilarious laughter except for one patron. As the movie ends, the house lights are turned up, and the audience exits.
A young usher walks up to Pete, still snoring and catchin’ some winks. His popcorn is scattered all over the floor as the tub has fallen from his lap.
The boy taps him on the shoulder, “Sir, the movie is over.”
Lovely.

Thanks David. I will plan to get a good night’s sleep so I am wide awake and alert for Sunday’s worship. We are jumping into Hebrews.

I remember sleeping while grandchildren watched a Muppet movie several years ago. I hope I didn’t snore.

I started falling asleep in theaters back in my twenties. I don’t waste my money so much any more.

I haven’t been to a theater for several years. I am afraid I would be catchin’ some winks, too.
