5. I don't know why, but this reminded me of an anecdote from my sister's extremely ugly divorce.

One of the things he insisted on getting in the divorce that he was especially aggrieved about was "his" ladder and "his" rake.
(He never used either, preferring sitting on the couch, smoking weed and playing video games.)

Anyway, my sister gave him both, but we chuckled about our hopes he would fall off the ladder and onto the rake.
