I once had a job clearing land in the forest to build homes. For one job, we were clearing land for a Tibetan Buddhist women.
On the land where the house was to go, the owner had built a small hand-hewn hut for "sweats" and meditations -- her little sweat house.
After a day of work, one of the other workers looked around and asked, puzzled, where the sweat house had gone. With a little bit of examination we realized that we had managed to hit it, squarely, with a large tree we had felled. It was completely pulverized.
Very diplomatically, my boss informed the owner that from now on, her life would be "no sweat."
