- A person tries to build a house. They have a few of their neighbors come to help. They are all working very nicely and organized-like, as you would expect from people who are trying to build a house.
- Soon, a building inspector comes by. The inspector notices the stairs and pulls out a tape measure. "Those stairs ain't right", he said.
- The builder replies: "They aren't finished yet."
- The inspector moves on. "This wall isn't thick enough", the inspector says nonchalantly. "And it's made of cardboard."
- "Of course it isn't", the builder replies. "We haven't finished it yet."
- "And look!" the inspector cries. "There is no roof! The owners of this house will be very angry when they get rained on."
- "They won't!" the builder retorts, "because when it's done, there will be a roof!"
- The inspector replies, "Why didn't you put in a roof in the first place?"
- The builder says, "Because we--"
- The inspector cuts him off. "This foundation is gelatin mixed with kindergarten paste! This house is shit, John. It's going down." The next day, the house was torn down.
