"On the chair" versus "In the chair"

Hi,

I ran into a test sentence as below:

Mister Micawber · #2 (permalink) Thu Nov 30, 2006 4:45 am *"On the chair" versus "In the chair"*

.
1-- in or on
2-- in or on
3-- on is fine. St. Louis is on the Mississippi. Tahoma is on Lake Tahoe. Perhaps it has been shortened from on the banks/shores of.

Very convincing and satisfactory. Thank you so very much, Mr Micawber.
