Like 20 something, I think. My dad has to sleep with one of those machines, because his snoring is so distracting that no one else can sleep with him going, and he actually stops breathing for a few minutes at a time, prompting someone to hit him, after which he continues breathing without remembering a thing. Thanks to that machine, I've been sleeping soundly for 3 years.

You'd be amazed at the number of people in my sleeply little urban sprall that drive texting or with a phone plastered to their ears.
Just make it a hanging offence - they won't do it again.

We're sorry but Windows Boeing Edition has encountered a problem and needs to close. Any unsaved altitude will be lost. The Flight Data Recorder has logged this incident as pilot error, we're sorry for any inconvenience.
