And in the middle of the night when you've seen a war movie

or something has happened that caused you to flashback,

you'll end up climbing the wall.

For example, one night I ended up knocking my wife

and giving her a black eye, and then, of course,

she knocked me out of the bed and gave me a punch

in the back, which is perfectly alright with me,

to wake me up and get my senses back.
