Today’s victim was sitting in the family room, completely unaware of the damage that was about to ensue. I’m talking about… the family recliner!
I have work I still need to do for class tomorrow evening; since I was upstairs with my laptop, I figured I’d sit down and look through some PowerPoint slides there. I lowered myself onto the recliner, hit the seat and TWANG! The left side of my butt was hanging lower than usual.
After pulling myself up and moving everything away from the crime scene, I lowered the recliner onto its side, looked underneath and saw that one of the springs that stretches under the seat cushion had busted. Yes, it happened when I sat down, but I’d like to think that other people helped its slow but inevitable deterioration. I simply provided the butt that broke the camel’s back.
it wasn’t someone who wanted to drive a shiv into your back, but something driving a shiv into your backside? told you to beware!
