Couple's challenge with closing door from @vinceandkins

A man and a woman play a game of catch in a driveway with the rule that whoever has the ball last loses. As they toss the ball back and forth, the garage door behind the man steadily closes, acting as a timer. The man throws the ball one last time, and it rolls under the door just as it shuts, leaving the woman outside without the ball, thus losing the game.
