"Okay," says the wife, "no preconditions. So what's your position?"
"Well, I get to keep all the money, and all the houses, and all the stuff."

"And that's not a precondition?"
"Of course not, it's not the same thing at all. You know me, I'm a man of principle and I would never impose preconditions."
"But seriously, if you get everything, what are these incredible concessions you're prepared to make?"
"Are you kidding? We get a divorce, I was going to let you move out and fuck other men!"
