Four-By-Twos

A couple of blonde men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One of the blonde men 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 a minute later and said:

- Yeah, I meant two-by-fours.

- All right. How long do you need them?

The customer paused for a minute and said:

- I'd better go check.

After a while, the customer returned to the office and said:

- A long time. We're gonna build a house.
