- From the FAQ:
-
- F. An auto worker steaks parts of Caddy bit by bit until he has
- a whole car.
-
- My friends father told us a story about a guy who did this
- in Vietnam with an M-16. He reported his rifle lost and then
- mailed the disassembled parts home in small packages. His
- wife didn't understand what was going on until the stock of
- the rifle arrived. She then took the whole works to a gunsmith
- who assembled it for her, and then she mailed it back to her
- husband, who had a little explaining to do.
