A sofa holds countless stories. It is where families and friends usually share  quality time and cherished conversations. However, there are times when you want to re-shuffle it because you want to be seated in a more comfortable way, or a particular kind of occasion simply calls for a different type of seating arrangement.

The sound of a ping pong ball is what introduces the song Do You Know? in Enrique Iglesias’ latest album titled Insomniac from MCA Music, Inc. I do not know what ping pong has to do with the song or with Iglesias. The use of the sound of a tennis ball on the court would have been more understandable because as per the gossip outlets, Enrique has been dating beauty and tennis champion Anna Kournikova for some years now. But then a tennis ball does not make the distinctive sound that a ping pong ball does when it hits the wooden table. So ping pong it is.
