It may have taken a long time, but at least they did a great job when they
finally got around to it. :)

I liked this quote:

"And his opinions were firm. He asserted, for example, that the proper 
length for a sea kayak was exactly 16 feet 10 inches. When questioned 
about this by a dubious kayak designer, he explained that the length 
could not be any greater because his garage was 17 feet long."

Very practical wisdom!
