**BREAKING: SEAL SPOTTED SLEEPING ON HOTEL FLOOR, CAUSING MASS Hysteria AND CONFUSION**
In a bizarre incident that has left hotel staff and guests alike scratching their heads, a SEAL (not the aquatic mammal kind, but a trained Navy SEAL) was found fast asleep on the floor of a hotel room in downtown Los Angeles.
According to eyewitnesses, the SEAL, who was reportedly on a top-secret mission to infiltrate the hotel’s continental breakfast, had apparently exhausted himself from a long night of sneaking into the hotel’s gym and using the treadmill.
“I was just walking down the hallway when I saw this guy in a full camouflage uniform, snoring away on the floor,” said hotel guest, Jane Doe. “At first, I thought he was just a really dedicated method actor, but then I saw his earpiece and I was like, ‘Wait a minute, is that a SEAL?'”
The SEAL, who has been identified as 35-year-old “Mark ‘The Ghost’ Griffin,” was reportedly carrying a miniature laptop, a water bottle, and a granola bar, which he had apparently used to fuel his high-stakes mission.
“I have no idea how he ended up there,” said hotel manager, Bob Smith. “I mean, we’ve had some weird guests before, but a SEAL on the floor? That’s a new one. I’m just glad he didn’t try to sneak into the pool area and start doing underwater ops in the hot tub.”
Griffin was eventually roused from his slumber by hotel security, who were alerted to the presence of the rogue operative. When questioned about his activities, Griffin reportedly claimed he was “just conducting research for a new Navy SEALs video game.”
The incident has left many in the hotel community wondering how a highly trained operative could fall asleep on the job. As one guest quipped, “I guess even SEALs need their beauty sleep… and a comfy floor to snooze on!”
**UPDATE:** The Navy has since denied any involvement with Griffin, citing ” plausible deniability” and “total confusion.” Meanwhile, hotel guests are advised to keep a lookout for any more SEALs sneaking around – or snoozing – in the area.
