Up In Smoke

So they say...there's no right or wrong way to grieve, but I'm not sure "they" ever met this guy:

The defendant said he later broke into the apartment and set the sofa on fire while he was drunk and high on cocaine.

"The couch was basically our spot," Sifuentes testified. "And I didn't want anybody else being where I had been with Laurie. With all my dreams and hopes just going up in smoke, that's why I lit the couch on fire."

That couch, so many good nights watching American Idol and picking popcorn from their teeth. The armchair quarterback in me wants to think, "damn, I wish I had a couch instead of this crummy old armchair."
