Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, Inc., wrote thus.

Y'all, the expression is,

"Don't let the screendoor hit you
Where the good Lord split you"

See there? It make since! <har! har!>  Iss the punchline of a whole
lot of traditional jokes referencing, e.g. a preacher downing
congregants walking out on his sermon, If y'all are going to rip us
off, *please* get it right. It ain't really no need for to half-ass
black oral tradition into incoherence!

Or is it? :-(

Youneverknow.

Unless Rmoney is elected.
