I read this post and the patent it references right before I went to sleep. I
just now awoke in a cold sweat after having the strangest dream:

My wife and kids were trying to keep the cops busy at the front door. I was
in the bathroom desperately trying to flush a huge K&T CNC mill down the
toilet. I kept pushing on it, but it just wouldn't go and I could hear the
cops coming down the hall...
