Reminds me of a joke:

My dad always warned us about Septic Tank Steve, and that we should never pay him to do anything, and we should have listened. One day Steve came by and said if we gave him a nickel, he'd swim around in the septic tank. We thought that was hilarious, so we gave him a nickel, and he swam around the tank a while. Then he came and sat next to us on the porch and said "If you want me to leave, gimme $100."

Well, we'll toss him back in if he likes it so much. Maybe sell off the ladder if he really wants to stay :)
