Talk about lazy, I don't even like to wear shoes that I have to buckle or
tie...

After I had oral surgery a few years ago, I simply went to bed with a
cabbage.  As I felt like it, I tore the central vein out of a leaf, crumpled
the leaf slightly in my hand, and tied it to my cheek with a scarf.  I
tossed the used leaves and veins in a wastebasket.  Nothing could have been
lazier!  I used what was left of the head for coleslaw.

(I took peas to bed, too, but they were more trouble.  I had to keep getting
up to re-freeze them, and I didn't feel I had a useable vegetable at the
end.)
