Strange dream

I was at a NASCAR race — you could tell by the size of the crowd — but there were Indy cars on the track. I was down at pit road.

For the Star-Spangled Banner, the announcer said they'd sing the song a little differently that day. The Something Mountain Boys and the Somethings weren't there to sing it, so he was going to have his nephew sing it if he did a good job at the concession stands that day.

I apparently was the nephew. But before I could get a microphone and start singing, the whole crowd started to sing. So I sang along where I was standing on pit road.

That's the last time I eat Uno's right before going to bed.

Thoughts?
