Requesting an Immediate Hinge Junction

from Judge John Hodgman · host Judge John Hodgman, MaximumFun.org

Stephanie brings the case against her husband, Lee. They live in one half of a duplex. It’s a side-by-side, two-family home in New Orleans that’s been in Lee’s family since the 70s. The other side is used by Lee’s mother and other relatives. Stephanie says it’s inconvenient to go outside from one unit to the other. She yearns for a door inside, connecting the two halves. But Lee says KEEP DREAMING. He says Stephanie's idea is ridiculous. He wants to close the non-adjoining door on the topic forever. Who's right? Who's wrong?
