Barn door.

I Voted up that quickly, because it sounded like something I agree with, but then I realized that I didn't understand, and rather than just let it slide, I want to ask you what "Barn door" means, because I am more curious than modest.

Edit - No pun intended.

Cellar Door.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Well, in this case there are still horses in the barn, so closing the door is probably a good move...
