    In a bustling city, two men, Bob and Tom, were working side by side in an architectural firm. Their days were filled with drafting blueprints and shaping the city's skyline with their designs.

    One afternoon, they found themselves embroiled in a heated debate. Bob argued that triangles were the superior shape while Tom staunchly defended the honor of squares.

    As their argument escalated, Bob picked up a square model and tossed it towards Tom, who managed to catch it just in time. The situation was becoming tense.

    Suddenly, Tom had an idea. He reached for a triangle model and placed it atop the square, creating an interesting shape. Both men paused and looked at the new design.

    They found that the combination of the two shapes was far more appealing than either shape on its own. Their argument was forgotten as they admired their creation.

    They began to incorporate this innovative design in their blueprints, which was met with great applause from their colleagues and clients alike. The duo was back on track.

    Another day, they were embroiled in a new debate. This time, it was about punctuation. Bob thought one exclamation mark was enough while Tom believed two were necessary.
