Here are my two couch potatoes:

How did you train the collie to raise the footrest?

How did you train the collie to raise the footrest?

Believe it or not my wife raised it to give him more room. I actually came home to this the day after we bought the couch and love seat.

In the early days of developing the Trent jet engine, engineers at Rolls-Royce in Derby built a gun which fired a chicken carcass into turbine blades to assess the damage caused by bird strike.


Engineers at Boeing heard about this and asked if it would also work for testing windscreens. Rolls-Royce thought it would. So Boeing bought a chicken gun from Rolls-Royce, shipped it to the USA and tried it out. The result was disastrous.


The chicken carcass flew straight through the cockpit windscreen, smashed instruments on the flight deck, smashed through the partition into the toilet, crashed through to the galley and ended up in the passenger cabin.


Somewhat distraught, Boeing contacted Rolls-Royce and asked what they would recommend. The engineers back at Rolls-Royce pondered Boeing’s problem and came up with a three-word reply: “Defrost the chicken”.

Funny story, but almost certainly not true. (sorry to be a wet blanket, but this story has undeserved legs)
