When I was a lad, summering (!) in South Philly, I and my siblings roamed the historic district and befriended a guide at Independence Hall. There are two “Rising Sun” chairs (visible in the cartoon), one a replica that they rotate with the real one to reduce its exposure. The off-duty one they keep in a closet, and my butt was allowed to grace the seat– the real one– where Washington once sat. That was in the years around the Bicentennial– I was in Philly for that, too. BFD (I was only 13).
Of course if I sat in it now, it would explode into splinters.

Actually, Hugh. God owns everything. Our stuff is just on loan.
And even if He didn’t, men don’t own HALF the shoes women own. Do you know the market value on a decent pair of shoes? :-D
