He came over on Monday. I think he did appreciate it as he told us about looking at one this summer and almost buying it but when he went back for a second look he realized that there were a number of worn and frayed spots. It was also funny that he found a piece that had a bit of writing on it - the word giggles. He has a funny last name and when he was a kid apparently the other kids called him Giggles. I must admit I am glad to see it gone.

I just know the thing, whatever the thing is that is in the box, it will be needed exactly a week after the box is gone.
