Years ago, I think before I was born, my mother said they had very odd neighbors who apparently owned nothing because they were always borrowing things. (The did bring them back when they were done with them...)

She though she'd seen everything when they came over one day to borrow a swatter because they had a fly. But they topped that ... they borrowed the cat because they had a mouse. She said he must have caught it because they brought him back a few hours later.
