any intake of liquids especially a diuretic isn't wise in a situation were your own couch decides to om nom nom you.

If he was hungry, he should have eaten the potato.

Surely he would have survived without the whisky?

yep. rule of 3s.

3 minutes without air. 3 days without water. 3 weeks without food. 3 months without alcohol. 3 years without sex.

i may have added the last two myself.

If you can survive 3 weeks without air I'd be impressed

I wouldn't admit to that if I were you.

Imagine the conversation with your friends when they ask how you got your bruises, where you reply, "The couch did it to me" *sniff* *sniff*

Joe Galliott, 65, [was drunk] at his home in Yeovil, Somerset, and fell against the three-seater which toppled onto him.

Because of [inebriation], he was unable to free his 19-stone frame and remained stuck for 60 hours until a neighbour spotted him through the curtains.

Like the way he spun this potentially embarrassing event.

Stupid title

EDIT: oh great my 10,000th post is a moan

Next time you come back from a night out peed as a fart, you can just crawl under the sofa.

When the missus comes downstairs, you can say "Thank God your here, you won't believe this. Lucky I had this bottle of whiskey to keep me going"

There are so many questions that this story raises but primary among them is what sort of a sofa does he have that knocking into it immediately makes it leap on top of him? I'm pretty sure I could run full tilt into the sofa in my flat and it wouldn't topple over, was he suspending the sofa above him immediately before the power cut in some weird sort of game? Why put another bottle of whiskey there, why not get a sofa that doesn't try to swallow you through your own incompetence? Was it a blend or a malt?

Yeah, I would think an obese 65-year-old man would have some issues with the bladder as well. 60 hours without a potty break! :eek:

Perhaps the diuretic was good in that case.
