As Comedy
The piano has figured into some of the best comedy sketches of all time. Picture Laurel and Hardy trying to cart a piano up a flight of stairs, or a piano dropping from an upper story window. We can also picture ourselves trying to move a piano from one side of the room to the other . . . .
The piano is a monstrosity of proportions and scale. Great size, small wheels. Furniture too heavy to move. Just looking at the piano and thinking about moving it can evoke laughter. And once we hire the piano movers, the comedy is riotous. There's no place to go but down.
It's a fine thing . . . the piano. It should come with a laugh track. Why anyone would attempt to move one to the upper level of an apartment complex borders on the insane.
But people do it. They must. We're still laughing about it.
