About 15 years ago, I had to replace my fire extinguisher because the old one had expired, and its gauge indicated that it no longer held the full charge necessary for optimal use. After I bought a new one, I put the old one oldside to be recycled or properly disposed. My landlord came over and brought it in. He asked me why I was getting rid of it, and I pointed to the gauge that clearly indicated that the extinguisher was not fully charged. My landlord said, "That don't mean nothin'!" He insisted that the extinguisher worked fine, and "proved" it to me by squirting it inside the living room.
Nevertheless, I did not want to keep it and I showed him that I had bought a new one. Since I didn't want the undercharged fire extinguisher, the landlord said, "Alright; I'll take it."
