While I Was Sleeping

Last night while in that half-sleep/half-wake state, I had a brilliant idea, a profound revelation. I didn't get up to write it down because, of course, it was so insightful I couldn't possibly forget it. Ever.

I can't remember it. But it was brilliant. All I can offer is that old joke:
A writer, in a dream, wrote the greatest poem ever written. It summed up the whole of the human condition and the secret of life. He woke enough to quickly jotted it down and then went back to sleep. The next morning, he reached for that scrap of paper to look at what he'd written. It was this:

Hogamous Higamous,
Men are polygamous.
Higamous Hogamous,
Women monogamous.
