Chair (Utkatasana) - hover like you're in a porta-potty

Chair pose (Utkatasana) always reminds me of going to a porta-potty when I was young. Thank god it's been a looong time since I went, but that struggle is still very clear in my mind.

Imagine that you needed to go to a porta-potty and needed to sit on the seat on a sunny day. You have your sunglasses tucked in your shirt, and really need to go. The thought of removing your sunglasses doesn't even cross your mind and even if it did, you have no alternative spot. The people before you made a mess, and no one has cleaned it yet.

What do you do? In desperation - you hover. To prevent your sunglasses from falling into the grimy floor, you lift your chest, praying that your sunnies don't fall off.

Not completely the same, but I personally think that it's pretty reminiscent of holding chair. Graphic? yes. Effective? let me know what you think
