Actually it does give me a sore back and hips for at least a day after, which makes it convenient to use it as a pat and more polite excuse to get me out of floor crashing. It's significantly easier to use "can't" rather than "won't" in almost any uncomfortable situation of this sort. If I say "No can do, these old hips can't take it," I never get an argument. But if I say "Naw thanks, I'm just not the overnight crashing type," I get endless protests and wailing and hurt feelings. So, I make it easier on everyone when I think it's best.
