Dutch guy walks into a shop...

It would be a right pain for a Dutch guy who went to his local shop near Eindhoven or something and Asked the guy. Can I have 10 planks of American pine 5m long each please. The shop dude gives him 10 planks 7m long each. The Dutch dude builds his house. Falls down like a model Eiffel Tower made from sloppy shit. The annoyed Dutch guy goes back to his shopkeeper and says "Hey! That wood you gave me. It was too long. I have no house now. I sue you!" Shopkeeper says "NO! everything's bigger in America. You can't sue me. I have the protection of a well known phrase. Set out in The Well Known Phrase Act of 1987.." The Americans really are quite weird.

Same Dutch guy goes to another shop to buy some wood. He is still trying to build his house. He thinks "This time I go to a good shop." He goes to Mr Camera's down the road. He talks to him and says "Can I have some wood please, American pine 10 planks 5m each." "Um I'm sorry we don't have it in 5m, only longer in 7m." says the shopkeeper. The Dutch guy writes off the shopkeeper's comment He just thinks "Ha! These shopkeepers are all in league, laughing about what a fool they are trying to make me." "I'll take them."
The Dutch guy builds his next house. It falls down. He goes back to the shopkeeper and says "This wood's to long. You weren't being sarcastic then?"
"No. Mr Dutch guy" said the shopkeeper "The Camera never lies!"
