Taurus, known for gluttony and love of comfort. This is the soldier on the phone…
“Remember eating all that food, P? When we were kids, we ate like hogs. We’d eat so much food and then lay on our backs in the sun.”
“I remember.”
“Well I just did that and now I’m lyin’ on a couch and I can’t move. I’m never moving again, P. I ate spaghetti. I ate sausages. I had some bread… and I had ’em deliver it. And they wouldn’t deliver it unless I spent more money so I said, fine. Them give me some cheesecake too, why don’t you.”
I snorted.
“So they did. So then I had some cheesecake, a big ol’ piece so of course I ate it too after I had my meal and now I can’t move. P, I’m not kidding. I couldn’t get my ass off this… out of this couch if I tried. Out of it, not off of it, because I’m not on this couch, I am in this couch. I’m sunk down into it so low. I’m just a hog on a couch with no way or hope of ever moving or getting up and walking around again.”
“No?”
“No, I’m too full. And people are staring because this isn’t even my couch. This is the public’s couch.”
“And you’re on it? You’re takin’ it up?”
“Uh huh. I’m in the waiting room here and people keep coming in. They all look at me and I guess they want to sit down but they can’t. They can’t because I’m layin,” he said.
I snorted.
“Yeah, P. I’d move but I can’t. I just can’t do because I’ve eaten so much. So I just wanted you to know what happened to me. If anyone asks, you tell ’em. You tell ’em that I ate myself to death. He died in the folds of couch, you can say. Too lazy to get up, he just sunk down until the couch just surrounded him and he was so deep in there, it blocked his air and he passed away.”

*lol* I know that feeling SO WELL! Did he get out of the folds by now? And why was that couch public?
Kundrie – he was waiting on a truck repair and ordered his dinner to the waiting area. He wanted Italian bad enough he just kept ordering to get the $15 min they would deliver and once it was all laid in front of him one could hardly expect him not to eat it… and eat it… and eat it. 😀
Sitting here in my pj on the extended couch reading this after lunch and nodding in agreement. I am a glutton or at least always hearty about food, almost devouring when eating,venus in taurus opp pluto, sun conjunct venus. I can eat any food (that I like) like it’s the ultimate God’s gift on earth. I noticed people around always crave what I have even if normally they wouldn’t eat that because it doesn’t suit their taste.
