Stay away from clouds. The silver lining everyone keeps talking about might
be a hailstorm. Reliable sources also report that lighting has been known to
hide out in clouds.

Yup, better watch out: them beaver-teeth are sharp! ;)

And if I was a Good Canadian, I'd be calling it a couch, anyway...

I would've thought any good Canadian would call it a davenport.

My mistake.

Hmmm...I think that would be England. I could call it a chesterfield if I
could spell it...

Lloyd


CHESTERFIELD!!!! Absolutely. Nice call.

Easy...that's the West Coast talking...not the East.
We would just take a reciprocating saw to it and cleanup the mess.

and I've got another small load to go..
I accept yankee dollars...or Canadian if I have to.

Read your trash placard; you must be 12 miles from land if it sinks,
25 miles if it floats.

I think a case or two of beer for your buddies and the sofa will be gone.
This would be a lot cheaper then the fine for getting caught.

Just remember the cardinal rule - no beer until the work is done. Or the
sofa is in someone pickup truck. Just make sure its not your truck! :-)

It is large heavy and ugly.
I was thinking of going into 40 foot or deeper water and heaving it over
the
side. Does anyone have a problem with this?
In a few years the metal frame would be gone and of course the wood and
cloth would rot as well. It is an old sleep sofa and IMO, too hard to lug
back up the dock.

In Florida that would be prohibited due to the danger of the sinking sofa
frightening a beloved manatee.

Dumping it sounds like a 'red-neck' kinda thing to do.

why not just put it on your front porch like the
other average red-necks? that way you'll fit in.
