Or, merely, **Grampa’s Wooden Leg**?

I was thinking of the song “A Boy’s Best Friend Is His Mother” at the time. Some of the lyrics go “While looking through the knothole in Grampa’s wooden leg, why do they move the shore so near the ocean.”

Fuck Your Couch\*\*

[/QUOTE]

For some reason I find this one the most charming. I don’t know why.

It brings to mind images of an impotently furious fifteen year old boy trying desperately to think up an insult. “Yeah?! Well… FUCK YOUR COUCH!” _runs away_

That, or the couch I discovered after I’d been sprawling on it regularly for a year had been… utilized… on a regular basis by a swinger buddy of mine. :eek:
