Enlightenment

Enlightenment was his speciality; he was just one of those ‘did you know’ people.

They were sitting together on the settee, half watching a show on television.

“Sleeping burns more calories than watching TV” he says, casually. He was doing it again.

“Did you know that a French pig was actually hung for murder?

Her head wagged slowly. “You don’t say.”

“Yes, and not only that, pigs can’t look up at the sky.”

“Wow!” she whispered.

“Not many people know that coconut water can be a replacement for blood plasma.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, and the Japanese think crooked teeth are attractive.”

“They do?”

He smiled and said, “It’s hard to believe that you have to pick blueberries before they ripen.”

She grunted, her eyes were beginning to close.

He went on. “Did you know that the French can legally marry dead people?”

She mumbled something and fell asleep. She began snoring almost instantly.

Good Lord! That was quick, he thought. She’s snoring, that’s OK. She does that a lot. Anyway, it’s not a problem.

“Did you know”, he says, addressing the empty room, “that a person’s sleep isn’t effected by snoring until it goes above forty decibels?”

Despite receiving no reply, the silence in the room was familiar.
