Respect, yo.
A recent discovery: mortise and tenon joints are so called because they hold until death.

Only if they are built rigorously. Sloppy mortises are not particularly sound joints.

Dovetails, now there's a joint...

(Little known carpentry fact: the dovetail joint was introduced to American furniture-making by immigrant Italian carpenters; the name "dovetail" is a corruption of the phrase dove tale?, "where [is] such [a thing]?" -- this was the customary interjection of legendary joiner Luigi Serafini, who was notorious for misplacing his chisels.)

I didn't actually think that about mortise and tenon joints, TMK. It's a joke.

"rigorously"
or did you notice that?

Shiiiiit. Hoist on my own petard.

Yeah -- also dovetails are not Italian nor named in the manner I said. Check out the Serafini link.
