A year or so ago my wife and I were out on a Friday night. After we had a nice dinner, and several drinks, we decided to go shopping for furniture. In the back of this quiet nearly empty furniture store I spotted an extra wide recliner that had its arms constructed in a manor that left them pushed out and angled to about 45 degrees. So I ran up to it and stated “oh my God this chair is made for some one with an ass this big, and I held out my arms as wide as they would go then turned around to show my wife!!!” When I turned around there was some strange lady standing behind me… it was not my wife. P was standing some ten feet farther back looked absolutely mortified, lucky for me the lady close to me had a sense of humor and was giggling while agreeing with my comments. Hmm yeah, not always such a good idea to be drunk and uninhibited in a furniture store on Friday night! Any how your link just reminded me of my little folly, and that ridicules looking recliner.
There is a mattress store on the way to my sister-in-laws house. Peter, you've seen it. They have stenciled on one of the windows "MATTRESSES FOR HEAVY PEOPLE". Not only is it a landmark, we have to turn right at the end of the block, it's usually good for a laugh. It's just so incongruous.

this ranks up there with the more bizarre things I have seen on the WWW. Its a handy design, makes sense, but its odd....
something out of an odd movie or story.
scott, I can so see you doing that! Funny stuff!
I think the most important question off all is, where do you find this stuff on the WWW PJ?
drunkcyclist
nice story Scott

BTW, Scott, that's a pretty funny story.
we are screwed if they ever remove that sign.
