In The Jungle, The Mighty Jungle
Traci and I had a dinner reservation tonight - and we arrived a little early, so we stopped in a store that sells stuff for your home. As we were walking around, I noticed a man sleeping in a chair.
I said, "Traci, there's a man sleeping in that chair."
He was old.
A couple minutes later, a store employee approached the man and asked if he was alright. The now awake man mumbled an incoherent reply.
The employee said, "Well, you've been sleeping here for two hours. You can't sleep here."
Again, the man mumbled. The employee walked away and the man went back to sleep.
Moral of the story: Store employees are not always correct.
And, no, we did not invite him on our date.

whew, i thought for a second he was going to turn out to be dead. and then i thought it would be messed up to write a blog about finding a dead guy in a chair in a store. so then i was thinking, man, Sam's an A-hole!
so yeah, i'm glad he wasn't dead, because that would make you an A-hole.

After powering through all 5 seasons of Six Feet Under I thought your story was the makings of the beginning of an episode. A couple goes to a store, finds a man asleep in a chair, he turns up dead, and cue the "Name and year born-2008" clip. I'm a little disappointed.

i wish i take a 2+ hour nap. OH, and i've deducted that you are obsessed with the office. HENCE, the office quote in regards to my blog. Crazy, yet relevant. I can't wait to be back in shitty OR:-)

I've always wanted to go into one of the mattress stores or something and take a nap...There are just so many choices!

wow, was his wife shopping? or did he just think to himself, "I am tired of driving, I'll take a nap in this furniture store for a couple of hours." AARP Rules.

You didn't invite him on your date? How insensitive of you. After a long nap like that, he was probably starving!

I sleep in public places all the times, what's the big deal? Hilarious. Can't wait to see you in two months.
