This is how to make me laugh

A quote from the owner's brother, when asked about the unusually large (72,000 sq.ft.!!!) home that was being built on a 500-acre site, just outside Springfield, MO;

"The technology involved with the construction is proprietary in nature,"

No shit?

If I'd wanted something a bit more discrete, I'd have adjusted the scope of the project to something in the half-acre size or slightly smaller, lest the uppity Branson folk down the street develop a case of the Keeping-Up-With-the-Joneses.
