This couch has been sitting in our neighbor's yard for a few months. It started out facing forward, complete with cushions, looking pretty good, with a FREE sign. That night it rained. I figured they'd move the couch, but no. By and by it rained again, the cushions disappeared, and they turned the couch around. Eventually, the couch became faded and torn and more rain fell. I have sort of been counting and I believe rain has fallen on it seven times.
Yesterday, the neighbors placed this new FREE sign upon the couch, tucked into what appears to be a litter box. Last night, we got more rain. The Dead End sign is just bonus. This has brought me as much enjoyment as the Sign Spotting books. Maybe I should make them an offer.

That would be so annoying. I'm surprised no one has burned it yet.

ReplyDeleteI remember seeing a couch for free out during the winter one year, it was perched on a snowbank. I thought to myself "I should go burn that tonight". Well I forgot to do it, but the next morning when I drove by, it was just a burned out shell (it had a hide-a-bed). Someone was thinking the same thing but was more motivated than I was. I felt a little shame at my lack of initiative.
