Why Can't I Stand Up? A Study of Futility

It's a question that has puzzled sartorially-challenged individuals for centuries. You try to stand up, but your legs won't co-operate. It's as if they're trying to tell you something, but all that comes out is "No, no, no! Not on the couch! Not on the couch! NOT. ON. THE. COUCH!!"

We've tried everything: yoga, Pilates, running, and even that weird "standing desk" thingy. But still, you can't seem to stand up. It's like your legs are secretly in on the joke, laughing at you as you flail about like a drunken sailor on a sinking ship.

It's like, what's going on with Leg Day, anyway? Is it because I'm standing on the precipice of insanity? When are legs just gonna start working, for crying out loud?
