A story.

Seems the beams in Harvard or some other long lived school were
rotting. They were massive and would be very expensive to replace.
After much talk and quibbling the gardener was called in.

He said Oh those planks have beetle damage every three hundred
years. That's why we grow replacements.

Bill who butchered the story not too bad I hope.
