Seems that one of Raven R-E-S-P-E-C-T!'s friends sat down on a sofa that wasn't there anymore and busted her ass. :o

My 67 year old friend wants to go back to work. She's been retired
 for a few years now but she thinks the workplace might be safer for her. Yesterday she had an old couch removed from her den and, after it was gone, went in and sat down...she's fine but her pride is brused.  She'd hate that I posted this but she doesn't come here.

Now there's a workers-comp claim just looking for a place to happen...and pay.

Translation:  My 67 year old friend has decided she cannot maintain her standard of living on the peanuts the government is confiscating from other people, so she has decided to try to get a job so she can subsequently hurt herself so she can collect workman's compensation,disability, or both.

Is that code talk?
I'd worry if a an old couch got stuck in my "den", too.
I plan on working pasted my retirement age.
Not because I need to, but, because I want to.

A what is who in the where now?  What the hell does a sofa have to do with working for a living?

I get it.  'Yesterday she had an old couch removed from her den' is a dog whistle for conservatives and their war against seasoned citizens.

I call BOUNCE!
If she doesn't recognize a missing couch before trying to sit on said "missing" couch, how is she going to go to work and hold a steady job? :???:
Besides, did someone break into that woman's house and steal that couch? Inquiring minds want to know. :p

Come on. DUmmy Raven was trying to make a sarcastic joke.

She's a useless, bitter, wallduded bitch, but she was trying to make a joke.

If you got Rush's joke about the sea levels, you should have gotten this one.

We don't use that stupid "sarcasm" sign here.

Beats the hell outta me. I was wondering the same thing when I read it.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

Providing for ones-self has a meaning.
There's a sense of choice.
Gives purpose for living.
H5 for that guy.

I know more than a few people who retired after x number of years at their job or at 65. Without exception, they all went back to work. Not having anything to do is too hard for most people to handle.

Mine too!  He substitute teaches, and loves it.  He's an educator from the old school, of course, and quite conservative.  He doesn't just babysit the class, either, but tries to impart a little knowledge.
