I had the oddest dream a couple of nights ago, and while I can’t remember much detail I do remember one repetitive scene. Some action–a trigger word–spoken by me in the dream resulted in a handsome man walking towards me while loudly eating popcorn. He never spoke, but approached and offered me some of the popcorn, to which I’d respond, “You know I can’t have popcorn!” before slapping him across the face.
When I awakened I realized that same scene had occurred at least three times during my dream, and while the trigger word is lost to me I remember it being something mundane. The whole thing reminded me of the old comedy routine known as “Slowly I Turned,” so I promptly googled it.
According to Google, the skit is attributed to comic writer, Joey Faye, and has been performed by a number of comedians through the years. Some of you younger folk might never have seen it, so here are a few clips. It still cracks me up. I’m not sure why.
Here’s Lucille Ball’s take on it:

But my favorite is performed by Abbott and Costello:
Sounds like a jerky, faded colour old film with a surreal and deep meaning behind!

Unlike me, Studly doesn’t remember his dreams. Might be for the best!

I’d never seen that particular sketch before, despite my senior years! After watching the Abbott and Costello version, I went on to watch this: https://youtu.be/FC8YnET4S30

I knew he’d had a tragic incident in his life. How sad!

My absolute favorite evening snack is popcorn. But I’m only handsome on alternate days. Still, I will keep my distance from you. – Marty
