Annual couch ride proves dangerous

[12244]

"They do this every year," said Sheriff Nancy Hove, "It's kind of their fishing season opening weekend ritual, just that no one has gotten hurt before."

uhhhhh, I really don't know what to say...other than it's nice to hear that these things occur above the mason-dixon line.....:grin: ....I did like the quote

Hove would not say if alcohol was involved.

ya think!

Hove wouldn't say if Alcohol was involved - Oh I hope so. At least the story to the cute nurse will start, "See we were drunk and had a rope a couch and a fast truck. . ." Versus - "See were kind of dumb and every year we ride this couch . . ."

I think the Darwin ruling states that the person must be incapabe of reproducing or actually removing himself from the gene pool. He may be available for honorable mention though... unless there is damage to a certain area not mentioned in the blurb.

I hope they were drunk. I mean you'd feel pretty stupid if you did that after drinking but imagine how dumb you would feel if you were totally sober.

I guess if you don't have a boat to tow you tow a couch.

Let's see......a lifetime ago...........a snow covered field.........a car hood.......a rope.......tow vehicle.........did I mention the bales of hay? And I don't even know anyone with a limp Seemed like good fun at the time.
