Ah, the dangers of leaning back in your chair. How many times have teachers/parents/spouses warned you not to do that? Here's why. Remember Eli? He was the high priest who started young Samuel on his path to prophethood.
The Lord told Eli to get his sons, Hophni and Phinehas, back in line with the commandments, or else. That "or else" happened when Eli learned his sons were killed in battle and the Ark of the Covenant was captured.
1 Samuel 4:18
"And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he [Eli] fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy."
Thanks to Fred for "tipping" me off to this verse.

Love the artistic photograph that goes along with this one :) Is this the infamous Joe's legs?
I am just picturing Joe talking Marie into taking these dramatic reenactment photos.
Amazingly, she was totally willing to help out.
Wait a second! Amelia, are you calling my legs infamous or just me? If it's just me, that's OK. But nobody, I mean nobody, calls my legs infamous.
