Things that make you go.....


Why do people take only the cushions from couches left on boulevards? I'm sure you know this, have seen it, heard about it, perhaps have even experienced this yourself. Couches in all states of derelict disrepair are abandoned for garbage men to take away, and within hours, the cushions have mysteriously disappeared. Why just the cushions? Who is taking these? What are they doing with them? Are they replacing their own sagging cushions with them? Are they keeping just the insides? Often these are rained on, generally are varying levels of frayed and disgusting, and yet these cushions are somehow coveted. Do crafty people utilize these? Is there some kind of clandestine fort-building society I am not aware of? Where do all the cushions go? Santa? Do you have something to do with this? And why does everyone know someone who has left a couch out and had the cushions disappear, but no one knows anyone who has actually taken the cushions? To quoth the immortal Kelly Bundy, it wobbles the mind....
