#905: Homeownership explain

[Cueball is in an empty room, on the phone with a friend.]

Cueball: I’ve always rented, so this blows my mind—this house is mine? I own a building?

Friend: Yup!

Cueball: I could, like, decide to drill a hole in that wall there, and nobody could do anything about it?

Friend: That’s right!

[Cueball, off the phone, stands in silence.]

Ten hours later:

[Cueball is standing to the left a pile of rubble, on the phone with a friend.]

Cueball: Can I come stay with you? My house has a… problem.

Friend: Let me guess: you drilled holes in it until it collapsed?

Cueball: I don’t think I’m cut out for homeownership.
