Two men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard.

One 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.”

“OK, now, how long do you want them?”

The customer paused for a minute and said, “I’d better go check.”

After awhile, he returned to the office and said, “A long time. We’re gonna build a house.”
