Not the couch

“It was a big leather couch. And one by one people came in but no one sat on it. They chose the hard metal chairs next to it instead.”

“What’s wrong with people? Metal chairs over a big leather couch?”

“And in a waiting room, where they are going to sit and…wait?”

“That’s what I thought. But then this big dame walked in. She had a cane and was wearing this big flowing gauzy dress. And she looked at the couch and said If I sit down there I ain’t never gettin back up! And all the other people started nodding. Then she said Lord it is terrible gettin old. They say you gotta age gracefully but they don’t tell you what that means.”
