You want half? Fine Here you go

BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - 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 think there is a guy living in one half of a New York house that has a boarded up wall dividing the house into two areas. He won't leave the house for fear that his wife will get it, but he won't live within her sight. There is only one entry on the street level, so he has to climb up to a balcony to enter his 2nd floor digs. I bet he'd like to transport his portion.

When my wife was in high school, the guy next door cancelled his insurance and burned his house to the ground rather than let his wife have it. Kept the firefighters who responded from coming on his property with a shotgun until the house was nothing but a brick chimney.
