One time I wanted to buy some land adjoining mine. The old man selling it needed to clear exactly $90 thousand dollars to pay off a loan and position himself for retirement. After some intense negotiations and haggling over the boundary lines, we finally agreed on his price. But when I had it surveyed, I discovered that the boundary was not where he thought it was, and unfortunately, he owned approximately 100 feet less than what he thought he owned, which meant the price would have to go down . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/12/bested-by-an-ass-2/
