The One With the Couch

I’m sure most of you are aware of the popular TV show Friends. Forever famous for the coffee house Central Perk, the friends were often found sitting drinking coffee on this famous couch. I had a similar couch experience, except we weren’t exactly drinking coffee.

The night before I left for California, we were all hanging out at Michael’s house. Out of nowhere John got the crazy idea to go pick up this couch he had seen in Michael’s mom’s garage the day before. So before I knew it John, Michael, and Jarred disappeared for 20 minutes and came back with a couch. Now that it was there we still had no idea what we were actually going to do with it, but someone had the great idea to put it in the back of John’s truck and drive around with people on it. So Grant, Issac, Michael, and I pilled on the couch as we drove around in the country on a warm summer night.

Besides not being able to breathe after john hit a certain speed, it was actually super fun, but it could be better. Ben had found a tow strap in his truck and remembered a YouTube video where they towed the couch behind the truck until the couch fell apart. We decided to try it because what else was there to do? After the couch was successfully strapped to the truck Michael and I jumped on with scrawny Grant in the middle. As John drove, you could feel pebbles and rocks flying up and hitting you in the face and hear the couch snapping as you went. We rode until the bottom literally fell apart and our butts were on the ground and the couch was completely fallen apart. Hopefully Michael’s mom didn’t need that couch again because it was never returned.
