A Feat


I’ve had my sofa bed, oh, since eohippi roamed the earth.  Lately it has been sighing when I launch myself upon it from across the room.  Yeah, I don’t do that, but I’m not Thumbelina either.  I surmised the old thing has life in it yet - if it didn’t, it couldn’t sigh. So G (my spouse) and I decided to donate it.  Yippee! G and I cleaned it to a fare-thee-well, and I made arrangements for someone to pick it up.  We were very worried about them getting the sofa out of the house as it’s huge and weighs 1,537.8 pounds.  So the guys show up and they maneuver the thing through our tiny doors with barely a hiccup and THEN.  THEN.  One of the dudes slings the sofa bed over a shoulder and carries it down the steps.  One guy, one shoulder – swear to Artemis, I’m not making this up.  In the words of the immortal guy from television, Holy Crap! Who was that Unmasked Man?

  1. I just read this and really did laugh at the discription of the super human man with the sofa over one shoulder --- what a picture in my mind!! Thanks for the laugh

  2. It was quite a show, plus we got have hauled away a couch, an electric fire place, a tow bar, and various garden tools--all going to good homes.
