keyboard - the one piece of framing timber in your house, that if removed, will reduce it to a jigsaw puzzle of boards and glass fragments.

(which would make a great infomercial, I just thought - Hey there, all you wolves. Are you tired of endless running, huffing and puffing? Fed up with those damn pigs always having their way? Introducing the all new Frizzamaschishle key board finder! Just point this gizmo at the house you wanna crumple, let the Frizzamaschishle show you which board to yank, and presto! A pile of planks, and 2 yummy pigs, just waiting to be gobbled! No more blowing the house down, just pull once, and reap the benefits!...)

But anyway....
