I actually gave Mrs. Totem a hot box the other morning. As most of you know, I am a helicopter pilot. That involves working weird shifts where sometimes I sleep days and then rotate to nights. In this particular case I was back to a "normal" circadian rythym, where I went to bed with my bride at her behest, rather than keep with my odd nocturnal lifestyle wherein I type posts in the Asylum at 3 AM.
Anyhow, morning arrived and the alarm went off, after which she promptly hit the snooze button. And then she proceeded to do so thrice more. Well, this wasn't getting me any more sleep, so after a night of decent rest, I had one of my patented Banana Farts* locked and loaded. I quickly seized the blanket, threw it over her head, and pulled the trigger. My poodle shot off the bed like I had administered an electric shock to her nether region and my wife screamed and promptly punched me in the stomach-- although I suspect she was aiming for my balls, but had missed due to her eyes tearing up.
Serves her right. Nobody interrupts my sleep on a day off. Nobody.

*Banana Fart: A greasy sounding and foul smelling semi-gaseous defecetion that resembles the olfactory nuance of jungle fruit rotting in high humidity and buzzing with flies.
