well?

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.

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.

1. The Refuse Act of 1899 prohibits throwing, discharging or depositing
any refuse matter of any kind (including trash, garbage, oil and other
liquid pollutants) into the waters of the United States.

2 It is illegal to dump:

Inside 3 miles and in U.S. Lakes, Rivers, Bays and Sounds
and anywhere on the Great Lakes no matter how far from sho

Plastic, dunnage, lining, and packing materials that float
and any garbage except dishwater/graywater/fresh fish parts.

3 to 12 miles

Plastic, dunnage, lining, and packing materials that float
and any garbage not ground to less than one square inch.

12 to 25 miles

Plastic
================================================== ======================
Definitions:

Plastic includes, but is not limited to; plastic bags, styrofoam cups
and lids, six pack holders, stirrers, straws, milk jugs, egg cartons,
synthetic nets, ropes, lines and bio or photo-degradable plastics.

Garbage means paper, rags, glass, metal, crockery (generated in living
spaces aboard the vessel -- what we normally call trash), and all kinds
of food, maintenance and cargo-associated waste. Garbage, as used here,
does not include fresh fish or fish parts, dishwater, or gray water.

Dunnage is material used to block and brace cargo and is considered a
cargo-associated waste.

Dishwater means the liquid residue from the manual or automatic washing
of dishes and cooking utensils which have been pre-cleaned to the extent
that any food particles adhering to them would not normally interfere
with the operation of automatic dishwashers.

Graywater means drainage from a dishwasher, shower, laundry, bath, and
washbasin and does not include drainage from toilets, urinals,
hospitals, and cargo spaces.

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.
