This is too funny.

TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY REACHES OUT TO PLUTO - 8/25/2006
A day after the planet Pluto was disowned by the world’s astronomers, Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage is embracing the former baby in the solar system’s nine-planet pantheon.
In honor of the planet formerly known as Pluto, Texas Motor Speedway will give residents of Pluto a free ticket to the Dickies 500. The ticket would be for the 2015 or 2016 Dickies 500 since it is a three billion-mile trip that takes roughly 9½ years in the NEW HORIZONS spacecraft. Pluto race fans must show a photo ID with a proof of residence at the TMS ticket office to be eligible for a Dickies 500 ticket.
“This is such a Mickey Mouse move by the astronomers, especially since my second-grade teacher told me it was a planet back then and still should be,” Gossage said. “They may disregard Pluto, but Texas Motor Speedway won’t. We already have all 50 states and several foreign countries with season tickets, but we’d love to be the first speedway to get a season ticket-holder from Pluto. We are always looking to expand our market.”

I've been feeling sleepy all day. I don't know why, but it bodes well for getting a good night's sleep before my interview with the HR manager at ADP tomorrow morning. The recruiter sent me a 7 page document the other day with possible questions and suggested answers, but having read them, I'm afraid of sounding too scripted if I use them as written.
