YMCA is played frequently, to there is going to be a high probability of false positives.

As such, it must be altered so as to give people false hope when listening to an oldies channel.

IDK, maybe YMCA played by a tuba or something.

Otherwise his imminent (and painful) demise is already running wild in my dreams on a loop. Every possible manner - choking, falling, stroke, Melania stabbing him in the throat, Uday and Qusay pushing him down the stairs on AF1, being set upon by a herd of wild pigs, somehow ending up slathered in honey and oil while chained to a donkey in Death Valley on a brutally hot day.

The day it finally happens is going to be a party for me that will last a very long time.

When my children were young I'd wake up for them.

I'd also wake up instantly when I was on-call doing logistics for emergency blood and organ transportation. Lives were literally at stake.

Major earthquakes have woken me. And please wake me up if the house is on fire.

I've been woken up twice by hotel fire alarms, rushing out to the parking lot in whatever clothes were handy. (Never forget your shoes!) Neither fire was serious. The greatest inconvenience to me was that there was no warm food for the free morning breakfast.

My most horrible waking ups were when I was young and staying with friends in a motel. I woke up to the sound of my girlfriend's girlfriend screaming and cops in our room. It turned out to be that city's way of telling us we were not welcome in their town. Another time I was sleeping in my car and the police yanked me out and shoved me to the ground before I was fully awake.

If he dies, meh. Vance will simply replace the meat puppet. Don't wake me up, I'll read about it in the morning.
