I had a wonderful poster on my wall for a couple years.
But brace yourselves, it came from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Okay, it said, "The only tool you need," then there was the great
picture, a toolbox with a pencil--as big as the toolbox--coming out
of it. Then, "to fill out the census."
So I cut off the last line.
