It's hard to stay awake in the afternoon

During my recent vacation, I managed to take a nice little nap almost every afternoon and it seems I've gotten used to that. Around 2:00 this afternoon, I found myself at my desk with half closed eyes and my head bobbing up and down like one of those bobble-head dogs that people used to put on the rear deck of the car.

I never understood why people put those things on the rear deck of the their car because in the event of an accident, it became a missile aimed right at the back of the drivers head.

How the hell did our species survive the 1960s?
