A Saw Divorce
A German guy who was just about to break up with his wife decided he wanted to make sure he got his half of the house: so he took a chainsaw to it and drive off with his half on a fork-lift truck. What is the point? If you drive off with a bathroom and a kitchen for example, you still have nowhere to sleep, and taking a bath with one wall missing is not exactly a good idea. If you get a living room and badroom then you have no way to keep up personal hygiene or cook a decent meal. Possible student accommodation then, but tagging “Bring your own 4th wall” on the end of the ad is not exactly going to encourage tenants.
And what about the things divorcees usually argue about? The CD collection for example. That was hardly likely to be exactly equidistant from either end of the house, with each person having their CDs on one side. Plus, the guy would have to be incredibly accurate with the chainsaw. You just wouldn’t want to risk it. Plus there’s the TV, fridge and other vital items you don’t want to randomly take out with a power tool. Then again, there is the possibility the guy carried out some careful “feng shui” to ensure that, should the relationship end badly, all the good stuff was one on side of the house.
What has been bugging me though, is what would he have done if they lived in a 6th floor flat?
