A Beloved Item Here in Cedar Rapids is One I Hate 😩

What do you do when you're the odd one out or so it seems?  There is an item here that people race for.  If there's a team meeting.  You'll find at least one person perched right up front because that's where they are.  They are so popular that there's not just one, there are many.   I went to get a picture of them today and had to wait.  There were people having a good time laughing and my general disgust of these probably wouldn't have been welcome. If you were wondering they are massage chairs.

They do look cool and I sat down in one again to see if I got it wrong all those years ago and I didn't, they are the devil's seat.

I used to see these in the Sharper Image catalog and I always wanted one.  Your own massage chair, yes, please! That was until I sat in it.  Thankfully I didn't drop the upwards of $5,000, that Sharper Image wanted for that bugger.  Not that I had $5,000 to drop on anything but it would not have been on that chair.

It was the most uncomfortable thing I had ever sat in.  Massage would not be the word I would use.  It's more like torture with mini wheels. They don't massage but more jab and punch your body or so I think. I don't just think, me, myself and I think this, all three of us.

If you're looking for information, I'll give it to you, just don't make me sit in that thing, it's not even a chair.  Here, take it, you can have it. my jr high locker combination, 12-26-36, just not the chair.  Wanna try it? Come on up, I'll let you sit in it.  I'll save you the trip.  Lay face down and have a skid steer drive over you, same thing.
