What couch? Did you lose your mind?

Fine, loveseat. Whatever the official term is.

Motorcycle, most call it

I guess it could be a love seat if you're extremely flexible and have excellent balance 🤷

I don’t think that means what you think it means.

[–] Viking_Hippie 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It does and it doesn't. I know that there's a type of furniture called a loveseat, but I'm choosing to interpret the phrase otherwise for the sake of humor 😉

Any seat can be a love seat if you try hard enough.

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 2 weeks ago

My point exactly 😁
