Half a House for You... Half a House for Me...

If you're getting a divorce and you own a house together, why not split your assets by just sawing the house in half?  Seems completely fair and reasonable, doesn't it?  Except, um, Hi. I'm Earth. Have we met?

A couple in rural Cambodia has terminated their 18-year marriage with a divorce settlement that entailed sawing in two the wooden house they once shared, villagers said Friday. The husband, 42-year-old Moeun Sarim, has taken away with him all the bits and pieces of his half a house, said his 35-year-old wife, Vat Navy... "Very strange, but this is what my husband wanted," she said by phone from a village about 62 miles east of Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh. She said they ended their marriage last month... She said her estranged husband and his relatives, after ripping apart half of the house, carried all the debris to his parents' house nearby.
Okay, you made your point. Was it worth it?  Really.

I wonder if they did it like that Jif commercial where one kid cuts the sandwich and the other kid gets to pick who gets each half? lol

The weird part isn't that he requested they do that, but that she AGREED to it!
