But the chair stayed up. The fellow in the houndstooth hoodie had a broken ankle and was hobbling past on crutches when I offered it to him. He was delighted, so when at 1:30 I was too inebriated to either see or stand properly I told him he could keep it and careened towards the bus stop. I hope he didn't just ditch it on the beach. My only regret: we never got to use the vibrating massage function.
