| Show By IRIS I have no way to prove my theory but Ill I'll bet way back when our ancestors w were re In caves Air Mr Zog came home one night worn out from battling toothed sabre-toothed tigers tIers all allday allday day to find Mrs Zog had rearranged the cave furniture And Ill I'll bet he grumbled about it Probably he said he wished Mrs Zog would leave the blank mammoth skin where he could find it and would she leave the table tablerock tablerock rock In the same place two days In ma a row And while he was wasat wasat at it did she have to let draw pictures of antelope and buffalo all over the walls If anybody complained Mr Zo Zog got ot a look at those crazy animals they'd think Zo Zog Junior Was some kinda NUT And would she for the Og quit nagging about wanting more rooms in the rock He had enough to do all day hot tooting footing around after food without having her tell him how Mrs Ug had three holes In her cave THINGS HAVEN'T ALTERED much in today's homes I even know a woman who uses a rock for a coffee table And show me a woman with more than two articles of furniture who doesn't rearrange it and Ill I'll show you a woman with two busted arms Like everything else furniture are of several different types There are the t fairly stable on only change chane things around once or twice a year there are are those who move Items around about once a month and then there are the REAL who ch change the furniture oftener than they change their underwear these babes are so busy switching couches they barely have TIME TIl to change their underwear IVE I'VE KNOWN A FEW OF THEM Once when my husband and I were newly married and had a basement apartment In Salt Lake we lived under a landlady who moved furniture What I mean she really shoved It around Even a two ton divan didn't slow her down sos so's you could notice it We wouldn't have minded if she had moved her furniture In the daytime but she She moved it at night It was not unusual for this dear old lady to decide at three am a.m. that the console radio should be by this wall the rocker by that one and a few odds and ends redistributed In between Its It's frightening to be awakened in the night by the thumping of heavy objects directly overhead I had the feeling an end table or ora a desk would come crashing through the floor any minute WE MOVED FROM THERE TO what used to be Sahara Village where we lived across the way from a furniture arranger who knew no peer This gal al g r up In the morning mornin washed ate breakfast and changed the fu Her husband a meek little fellow J rarely said anything He did talk to himself sometimes when he had to hunt around for a chair to sit in but It wasn't until one night during the Korean fuss that he really blew his stack He came in very late after his wife had retired Considerate Considerate Consid- Consid erate soul that he was he undressed In the dark had himself himself him him- self a long stretching yawn and collapsed on the bed Or he would have collapsed on the bed If it had been there As it was he landed on the cold hard concrete with a good old dull thud and broke his cheek lie He woke up his wife gave ave her hera a hit In the head and told her she was never but NEVER to move the furniture again SHE DIDN'T EITHER Not even to clean under it |
