I designed and built some wooden sawhorses and man, was I ever proud of my design! I gave a set to my Pa and told him they were INDESTRUCTIBLE, and he proceeds to set a BUILDING on them, and they failed. So I made a set special for him out of 2 x 10s but said they MIGHT break if he sets another building on them.
Build it more idiot proof, then find a better idiot.

I tell my dad that everything is "(adjective) within reason". It keeps him from testing the theory.
