Objects found while dismantling couch: (Cut for irrelevance and grossness)
4 rawhide "chips" Orange Djeep lighter in working condition coverless jar of petroleum jelly 2 LIVE MEALWORMS calculator Lots of dust, crumbs, doghair and several molted mealworm skins
This begs the question: Why dismantle a couch? Lighters are cheap, petroleum jelly plentiful, passegeways to Narnia restricted to unpright wardrobes -- what were you expecting to find in there?
The weirdest comments are always the anonymous ones. I used to be able to blame them on my brother, but now that he has an account, I just have to ponder...
Well it wasn't Barb (me, the other anonymous who forgets to sign their posts) because my Honey absolutely hates it when people use "begs the question" to mean "raises the question". Drives him nuts, it does, and I'd never do it.
Besides, you dismantling a couch doesn't seem that odd.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm planning on dressing like Shaun of the Dead for halloween, even though you look 100 times more like him than me. Seriously--look at the dvd extras--the guy in his street clothes looks just like you.
I was dismantling the couch so that I could throw it away without getting a ticket.
Everything but woodchucks (I've tried) and my dogs (who weren't interested when I offered them.) At work I've fed them out to ducks, chickens (who treat them like they are crack), skunks, opossums, turtles, the turkey vulture, the kestrels and (at a previous workplace) bats--and when the worm fell out of the tweezers when feeding the bat, it landed in a mouse cage where it was devoured.
In college, while dismantling a bed the downstairs Neighbors discarded , I discovered someones drug wallet with a tightly rolled $100 bill and a vial of some chunky white substance. I tossed the vial (not into the drugs, and even if I was there's too white a variety of things it could have been,) but That bill fed me for a long time. These days a close examination under the cushions usually reveals a disturbing amount of loose change, legos and little pink things. My daughter seems to spontaniously generate small pink toys.
Oh, and why was I dismantling an nasty old bed? For the firewood, of course, because our landlady never turned on the heat that winter. Thank God the place had a woodstove.
