Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to build an outhouse. He measured the space for the outhouse and made exact calculations of the necessary bricks and mortar required to build it. He then bought the bricks and the mortar and built the outhouse. And there was one brick left.
Once upon a time, there was a big man with a filthy cigar and a little old lady with a yappy dog riding a bus. The big man turned to the little old lady and said, "why don't you get rid of that yappy dog!" The little old lady responded, "well, why don't you get rid of that filthy cigar!" And they argued, and they argued, and they argued. Finally, the little old lady became so incensed that she reached over, grabbed the cigar, and threw it out the window. The big man responded by grabbing the dog and throwing it out the window. And they argued, and they argued, and they argued all the way to the final stop. And there was the dog.
And guess what he had in his mouth?
...
The brick from the other story.
