He said "it's not a garage, it's a carport".

Carport = no doors.
Garage = doors.

So if I take the doors off my garage, it magically becomes a carport?
If I put a door on a carport it becomes a garage? Really?

I know if you put a closet in a "den", it becomes a bedroom, but who
knew about carports/garages! ;-)

My buddy was building a post and beam house. His dining room had floor to
ceiling windows on one wall, used the backs of the kitchen cabinets as
another wall and was open on one side to a sunken sitting area with a round
fireplace as a center piece. A big chandelier hung from the cathedral
ceiling on a long chain. It was a gorgeous room.

He had not yet bored through the beams to install the receptacles in the
dining room but he needed to get his electric inspected so he close the
construction loan and get a mortgage. When the inspector came over he asked
"Is this the dining room?" "Yes", answered my friend. The inspector said
"You need receptacles every 6 feet in a dining room."

"Oh," said my friend, without skipping a beat, "then it's a closet."

He passed the inspection and got his mortgage.
