"The woodiest?"
"I don't know what you mean."
"You know, which is the most wood-like?"
"They're all wood-like. All our wood is wood, so it's not just wood-like, it is wood."

"Sorry."
"I might just leave it."
The man sensed a sale.
"Wait. I've got this 2x2. That's quite woody."
"Can I see some?"
The man reached under the counter and pulled out a small length of 2x2, a sample.
"That looks nice. I'll take one."
"One? How much?"
"One like that one there."
The man shrugged.
"That'll be 50p."
"What about nails?"
"What about them?"
"Which are the nailiest?"
