No. :)
It *would* be that it deserved better than a 9, but on a scale of 0 to
10, I wasn't going to grant it perfection.
For sheer falling-off-the-chair value, I found Rob's effort to be more
to the point. (Also better for inducing a spit-take. But your opinion
may differ.)
Oh, and falling off the chair right now would be a bad idea. If I fall
to the left, I land on the already-broken Clue box and another box below
it; if I fall to the left and a bit back, I land on the 2 deep skillets
stacked on top of the air cleaner; if I fall slightly to the left of
straight back, I don't get very far because I hit the small folding
table whose contents I really need to deal with; and if I fall to the
right, I land on a couple more boxes. Falling back and to the right is
the best option, but even that's not perfect, because if I fall too far,
I'll hit my head on the small filing cabinet. :P
