Four By Twos

You know you're in trouble when you hire private contractors to build your house and they send out a crew like these guys...

Some men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One of the guys walked in the office and said, "We need some four-by-twos."

The clerk said, "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?"

The man said, "I'll go check," and went back to the truck. He returned in a minute and said, "Yeah, I meant two-by-fours."

"Alright. How long do you need them?"

The guy paused and thought about the question for a minute. "I'd better go check," he said. After awhile, the guy returned to the office and said, "A long time. We're gonna build a house."
