Imagine the scene:

Its 6:50 AM in Canopenner's Bedroom, the alarm starts going off...Canopenner Nudges his wife and asks her, "Oh honey, can you please hit the snooze button?"

Canopenner's wife begins flailing wildly at the nightstand-Pefume bottles and candles flying every which way, the answering machine beeps and says "You have 7 old messages, no new messages". The alarm clock is still buzzing, Canopenner's wife is still flailing, pressing every possible button combination on the phone and alarm clock, not to mention a few remote controls...Finally Canopenner climbs on top of his wife and hits the snooze button.

Not exactly what I wanted to climb on my wife to do...But, at 6:50 in the AM you take what you can get.
