   It's like that other asshole, Zuckerberg: "Move fast and break   
   things". Collateral damage? Meh.   
      
   --   
   A pickup with three guys in it pulls into the lumber yard.  One of the men   
   gets out and goes into the office.   
   	"I need some four-by-two's," he says.   
   	"You must mean two-by-four's" replies the clerk.   
   	The man scratches his head.  "Wait a minute," he says, "I'll go   
   check."   
   	Back, after an animated conversation with the other occupants of the   
   truck, he reassures the clerk, that, yes, in fact, two-by-fours would be   
   acceptable.   
   	"OK," says the clerk, writing it down, "how long you want 'em?"   
   	The guy gets the blank look again.  "Uh... I guess I better go   
   check," he says.   
   	He goes back out to the truck, and there's another animated   
   conversation.  The guy comes back into the office.  "A long time," he says,   
   "we're building a house".
