I accepted a couch from my brother who was a senior, and I a sophomore at ISU. It was a great couch, no big deal until my junior year. I was looking for the remote and put my hand real far back into the couch, ya know the place you rarely go but the remote has been missing for days so you go there just in case. I pulled out some skimpy, barely there g string thong thing. Only problem is that my GF was sitting in the recliner across the room....
After I talked myself out of that I started asking around to see whose it was, and didn't really think of my older brother. Funny thing is that my younger brother (senior in High school at the time) said he found it 6 months prior but didn't say anything because he figured it belonged to someone that was on the couch only one night either with me or our older brother.
Long story short, never put your hand that deep into a hand me down couch.
