My new couch

[Enterstageleft]

I went to a furniture store earlier this week looking for a large couch.

The saleslady showed me a nice one and said, "This couch will seat 5 people without any problems!"

I began laughing uncontrollably and asked, "Where the hell am I going to find 5 people without any problems?!"

1. That's a good one.

And even if you could find the 5 people without problems you wouldn’t want to sit that close to anyone right now.

2. In a cemetery. Would you like to look at our shovel collection?

3. Good one!

5. I've been couch

shopping for weeks. At 6' 4" plus an 80 lb catahoula ain't easy... I guess the wife should be there too.
But by GOD I will use that line when given that statement yet again.
Must be in the couch salesperson handbook.

7. I have the opposite height problem

when searching for a couch. I am 5'1" and if the depth of the seat is too great, my legs dangle like a child. If I sit forward so they don't dangle, then my back hurts after a while. I look for couches with seating areas that are not too high and not set too far back. Then I try sitting on them to see if the cushions are comfortable - and firm enough that I don't sink down into them.

OTOH, I always have enough length to lie down on them. Hell, I can use a love seat for that.

9. Don't invite me and see if there is a four seater!

10. As funny as it is, what is keping me laughing

is that it remined me of another joke

Which involved a military unit having suffered some casualries, including the loss of a Corporal Peters, who had been very popular.

The unit made its way to a bawdy house - the OIC was greeted by the madam and asked how many of them there were -

He answered, "Well, Ma'am, there are 31 of us without Peters."
