Wouldn’t it be fun to cut a three foot (that’s 24.000”) piece of 2x4 — oops, I mean 1 7/8 x 3 5/8 — and beat the shysters black and blue with it?

Make that 36.000”, not 24.

Or get one from my 1836 farmhouse. 2” by 4” of solid White Oak. You wanna hang a picture,. you have to drill a hole to put the nail in!
