Here's the original report, plus comments.

Never was there a kindlier and more loving parent than my chair; I remember one freezing winter it pawned its castors to buy me a coat for school.

This fate of this chair is nothing less than murder. Did those animals who took its life realise how its family must be grieving right now?

My many thanks to the people of your area who have provided this poor thing with a decent burial.

Somebody's gonna be in the hot seat when they find out who did this.

It's a flaming shame if someone gets 'bum burn' over this.

I hate it when things like this happen. It's a constant pain in the rear.

An incident like this could start a swivel war.

Well, technically, now they are fire arms.

I don't know how you can continue to come up with those lines with such persistent enthusiasm. How can you live with yourself?
