Your HOA: “Dear sir or madam, we have noted a large wooden horse outside of your unit. We would like to remind you that outside decoration must be confined to your porch area and small enough to remove easily and not block the view of other residents or obstruct the common elements and a walkways, as defined in our bylaws. Please remove this item in the next seven days or the board reserves the right to levy fines and penalties up to and including eviction if ignored.”
My exhausting politeness would have spoiled the plan. "Oh no, I could not possibly accept your gift! All is forgiven, seriously. Im just happy that we are friends again!"
Trojans: 'Wow, they made us this big cool horse as a gift for withstanding their little tantrum? Nifty. Let's install it right outside the gate so people can see it as they come in and see how great we are without blocking our roads.'

Starvation takes months to occur if you're at an average weight. They would have died of thirst 🤓
