I don't need any additional confusion in the morning; I'm confused enough in general. But this morning, something happened that just kicked all of my groggy brain cells into overdrive, attempting to answer the question, "What the fuck?"

So I'm in the shower. And I'm naked because that's how I like to clean myself -- I like the whole body to get clean, not just the parts that show. Anyway, I'm in the shower, naked, and suddenly I head a *clink*. I look down, and sure enough, there's a shiny nickel on the floor.

Where the HELL did this nickel come from?

No. I don't remember putting any spare change up my ass. And I'm 95% certain that no one did it for me, either. So ... what the fuck?

After about ten minutes of head scratching, I woke up enough to realize that I must have slept on the nickel, and it stuck to my skin somewhere, only to fall off at the most confusing time possible.

My brain is fried. Guess I won't be able to work on that Mensa application until later this afternoon.
