The Wooly Little Bastards Better

I hope they do because counting sheep has never worked for me. After the third or fourth sheep I always start trying to think of names for them as their wooly little bums pass through my head. Once they're named, I realize that I've become emotionally attached to them. Now fond of the flock, I decide that I will need a sheep dog to protect them. Then I have to think about what name I would give the sheep dog. Finally, I get stressed out about the responsibility that having an imaginary flock of sheep and an imaginary sheep dog adds to my life. Which makes it even harder to sleep. So yes, as far as I'm concerned they count people. If agonizing about their welfare keeps me awake at night, then the least they can do is count me's when trying to go to sleep.
