I was on an airplane recently, and I fell asleep on a plane. I don't like falling asleep on a plane because I don't like waking up on a plane. You know, I don't like waking up. I hate it. I hate waking up. It's the worst feeling known. And you gotta do it every day. I had to do it today. You can't skip a day. It's so unfair that every day starts with just, pfft, yeah.
I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it. It takes me about 40 minutes to be like, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay. You're just a guy, you're kind of fat. It's almost over. It's okay, just a couple more.
But waking up on a plane is much worse, because it's such a shock, because you were just in a dream. You were in a subconscious state, and now you're in public. You go from the deep part of yourself unknown to you, to there's a guy right here. It's just a guy. And you're like...

Fuck. I'm not racist. But a boy can dream, I guess. I don't know. It's a dream. Watch Louis CK, Ridiculous. Only on Netflix.
