I used to belong to a committee that had meetings just after lunch, so staying awake was a challenge for all. This one guy was constantly nodding off, then would suddenly snap his head back when he awoke. One day, he was sleeping more soundly than usual when his chair started to tip backwards. It was one of those classic scenes where you seem to be watching in slow motion and know exactly what's about to happen, but can't do anything to stop it. Anyhow, this guy goes down backwards and all you can see are his feet pointed straight up in the air behind the table, until his feet go down and his head pops up. Classic -- Even the Russian judges gave him a 10!^
