Ok, I know if you have to explain the joke then it loses its potency. Can you explain your joke?

If you say the word "gullible" slowly, it sounds like oranges. Go ahead and try it.

Are you familiar with The Princess Bride? "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
I just thought it was funny that Google did exactly the opposite of what you thought it would do.

The Trump Fence
I pass this fence every day and every day it makes me laugh. The old fence blew down last Fall and the owner spent 2 weeks putting up the replacement.
I started thinking of it as the Trump Fence after Trump announced his plan to build a wall....his plans are always amazing, but execution not so much.

Re: The Trump Fence
2 weeks? Looks like he hacked it out in about 2 hours. At least the boards seem to be the same length.
You can't expect anything to be level but the love of Pete, make the gaps the same.

Re: The Trump Fence
And look at the top right horizontal cross piece. and the lengths of the boards above it.
2 weeks? Looks like he hacked it out in about 2 hours.
It was excruciatingly slow watching him build it. My guess is it was on purpose or he has serious spatial perception malfunctions.
An odd regional fence building convention is wooden fences and wooden posts in the ground or concrete. It rains a lot here in the Willamette Valley and fences and posts rot in just a few years even when they are painted.
I have only seen a couple wood fences that lasted a long time and those were large, (8x8) dense wood treated with creosote.
Now there are very dense recycled plastic fencing materials (that may last for centuries) that look like wood. Expensive, but you only have to build it once.

With beer breaks, that sounds about right.
