James          Anderson
“Like a carpenter with two broken legs at the bottom of a beautiful staircase. Maybe I can't climb the stairs, ma'am, but at least let me admire the workmanship.”
James Anderson, The Never-Open Desert Diner

Jarod Kintz
“In high school, I was on the carpentry team, but I got benched. It was awkward sitting on it while my teammates built it.”
Jarod Kintz, The Lewis and Clark of The Ozarks
