When Angela and I sued the *&!^@*#!@^# who "finished" our basement, we
won, but he didn't pay. So, we took him in for that Order of Execution.
He is required to bring in a statement of all his assets, bank accounts,
salary, etc.  He brought in sheets that said $0 for everything!

The judge said "OK, we'll turn this over to the department of
Corrections. You'll meet with a probation officer next week with
your 1040s for the last 5 years. And, by the way, if you're lying,
it's perjury and will be 5 years in jail."

We had a certified check for the full amount 3 days later.
