@Arkturos saidCharlie Chaplin once wrote a paper on the best way to exit a bean bag. (It basically involved a twist and forward hop technique). Unfortunately this led to disagreement with Douglas Fairbanks, who being a bit of a swashbuckler, had developed his own more extravagant style.
I have been familiar with bean bags since the mid-1970s (ours was burnt-orange) and have been practicing some exit maneuvers as taught by the late James Coburn -- so should be okay.
The pair didn't speak again for 23 years.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidWe are basically a literature and film club but are now focusing on regular demonstrations against bean bags and other inconveniences.
Hope you're ok with bean bags? Some of our customers aren't keen.
(I hear Torunn has formed a protest group that meet every Thursday).

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidThis reminds me of an unfortunate occurrence during my childhood in the Sixties, when during a road trip to Florida a whole box-full of chocolate-covered raisins melted onto my transistor radio.
It's the same with me and chocolate.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidWe will bring our own portable chairs - especially suitable for demonstrations indoors.
Will you be organising 'sit ins?'
If so, please order drinks and enjoy the comfort of the bean bags.
@Torunn saidClever!

Sorry for offering to burn your tavern down a little while ago, but some harrowers are at my back, and in the country of my birth things have gone so crazy a lot of people have no idea what to do, business people and creatives alike!
In light of that preamble, would it be too brazen of me to ask for a tuna and cheddar sandwich on rye and a bowl of lentil soup?
@Arkturos saidNo problem sir, though we are currently out of tuna. Will substitute with crab sticks.

@Arkturos saidBefore contemplating burning the place down, you might consider the guests stuck in their beanbags?

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidI fear you are mistaken sir. I just ordered a tuna sandwich, not with cheese, and the server brought it post haste. Now I did see them doing something with the tavern’s resident cat’s bowl.🤔

@Great-Big-Stees saidWe will fight that insinuation in court sir!
