Yeah... I also know (and knew at the time) that 8 foot 2x4s measure exactly 96.25 inches (the extra quarter of an inch is provided for the saw kerf when and if you have to cut the board, there is more to it, I know, but I digress).
However, the dumb (and therefore funny) part, was that the guy who called seemed perfectly happy with my answer after I told him that the 8 footers were 10 feet long.
I'm sorry that I had to explain the joke... in a thread about making fun of people for being dumb.
