To Sleep Perchance to Rest

A plane flies high in the air over mountains and valleys. The plane is labeled with "Veeblefetzer Corp." Inside, there is a man and the pilot. "Now this is the part that makes me nervous," the pilot says, pulling out a book. "Let's see...'How to land a plane...'"
May 11, 1966
I mean, he's clearly done it successfully before since, even though it makes him nervous, he's still alive. I would take solace in that, at least.

Veeblefetzer was the original name for things now named Veeblefester. I don't know why the change. Maybe Veeblefester rolled off the tongue better. According to Wikipedia, it's based off a word created by Harvey Kurtzman, but there's no attribution to that information.

Gladys is walking one way, following the noise of someone snoring. A giant yellow Z makes that clear. Brutus is spread out on the couch fast asleep and snoring giant yellow Zs. Gladys walks away. "Brutus Thornapple, the Born Snoozer!"
Is there something wrong with a man taking a nap after a hard day of, I'm assuming since it is Wednesday, work?
