makes me think about the wife nagging on her husband because he forgot their wedding anniversary.
She stands up and tells him "if I don't have a present in the garage by tommorow that does 0-180 in less than 10 secs, its divorce !!!"
the next day she rushes to the garage and finds a small wrapped box.

she opened it and found a scale
