The Soft Seats

Being as how I'm a good doobie, I volunteered to usher at stake conference. Of course, when we got there 50 minutes early the chapel was full. Thus began the battle for the soft chairs. The far end of the cultural hall is often used for gospel doctrine. As a result, all of the soft chairs in the gym were set up way in the back, so when you got there, you could chose to sit relatively close to the chapel on a hard seat, or you can park about 30 rows behind most everyone else for some extra comfort. So we had a surprising number of people sitting a long way from the front. Until some keen old ladies came up with a new solution. Just start picking up the soft chairs in the back, move them to the front and have the best of both worlds. In all, a few dozen soft chairs were carted up to the front of the gym. Moral of the story: when any moment could be your last, do whatever it takes to be comfortable.
