Would an egg break when dropped on a couch?

No, it will not break because the couch absorbs the speed of the egg dropping, causing the egg not to break. And now I tell you of a show called, "You Asked For It." A man stood on a (?two story) building and dropped a raw egg onto the ground-level parking lot. The egg bounced into another man's hand (2 or 3 feet bounce)! Then the man in the parking lot said, "You don't belive that this is a raw egg?" He turned his hand over, dropping the egg, which broke. (This was before the days when special effects were used to lie -- to amaze -- people; B&W TV show.)
