German man chainsaws house in two in divorce split

A 43-year-old German decided to settle his imminent divorce by
chainsawing a family home in two and making off with his half in a
forklift truck.

Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said on Friday the trained
mason measured the single-storey summer house -- which was some 8
meters (26 feet) long and 6 meters wide -- before chainsawing through
the wooden roof and walls.

"The man said he was just taking his due," said a police spokesman.
"But I don't think his wife was too pleased."

After finishing the job, the man picked up his half with the forklift
truck and drove to his brother's house where he has since been staying.

I thought the moral of the Solomon proverb was NOT to do this sort of
thing, as total functionality of the house (child?) would be lost!

Having been divorced once, I can certainly share the sentiment, tho. Pretty
cool, but pretty dumb.

An important, but sometimes overlooked point is that it wasn't Solomons'
kid. He didn't know whose it was, but it for sure wasn't his.

This moron cut his own house in half.

Political Correctness

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible
to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Would not that depend on whether the cut was horizontal or vertical?
