When I was a kid there were various companies making toy bricks - Lego were the best but there were many other kinds of copy cat bricks.
As a child I had various sets of bricks from various companies - they often looked similar but had different sizes and quality of plastic but as a child I persevered - with a bit of effort I could get incompatible bricks to almost fit with each other or I would use one style of brick for one part of what I was making and others for other parts. The ones which almost fit would look wrong and feel wrong and would often come apart at inopportune moments but I was a kid so didn't really care. I could always kinda make what I set out to make and if some parts didn't fit and others didn't colour coordinate and others just looked wonky then that was good enough for me, as a child.

If memory serves some of the 'cheaper' bricks also did lock together quite right so the creation would fall apart...

or look stable enough then the cheap bricks would just pop apart (usually at night)

When I was a kid there was Meccanno(tm) - we used it to build really large flexible frameworks that we then didn't manage to find any purpose for.

An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road.
A cop pulls him over. "So," says the cop to the driver, "where have ya been?"
"Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk.
"Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few to drink this evening."
"I did all right," the drunk says with a smile.
"Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms across his chest, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?"
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.
"Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya".
"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?"
"That's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda. There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."
"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me."
" I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry."
Finally, she looked up at Tim.
"How did it happen, Tim?"
"It was terrible, Brenda he fell into a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned."
"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me truth, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?"
"Well, Brenda... no. In fact, he got out three times to pee!"

He says, "So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?"

The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?"
She says, "That he did, Father."
The priest says, "What did he ask, Mary? "
She says, he said, "Please Mary, put down that damn gun..."

Add "for this, I have found a truly wonderful proof, but the margin is too small to contain it."
And you will annoy people for centuries.
