Bionic Teutonic

So we are re-modeling our bathroom and I’ve been going around assembling all the items that we need (drywall, 2×4s, etc.). This morning I went and dropped over $400 on slate for the floor and a big piece that will either go underneath the window, or be used as a sink counter top eventually. As I was driving from the quarry warehouse to work, I got to thinking that I had just spent an obscene amount of money for a bunch of rock that somebody had made flat and square. This strikes me as sort of ridiculous.

Near our house there is a business that consists of a huge pile of dirt and a little office where (presumably) the owner sits and sells said dirt. I’ve always made fun of this place (Dirt! Get your dirt right here! Lowest prices! Dirt cheap!), but now I find myself buying flattened rock. I seem to have lost my high horse somewhere. If anybody sees it, would you please let me know where I can find it again?
