All I can ever think of when I see a white picket fence is the classic "White Washing The Fence" scene in Mark Twain's classic:
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
"Oh
come, now, you don’t mean to let on that you like it?”
The brush continued to move.
“Like it? Well I don’t see why I oughtn’t to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”
That put the thing in a new light. Ben stopped nibbling his apple. Tom swept his brush daintily back and forth—stepped back to note the effect—added a touch here and there—criticized the effect again—Ben watching every move and getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed. Presently he said:
“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”
The brush continued to move.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
By Mark Twain.
Clever Tom Sawyer goes on to make a nice profit over letting his peers white wash the picket fence for him. Talk about crowdsourcing!
Well look at that, "K" for Kenna!
