    I just figured out what was bothering me about the 
subject line.  I think this is a confusion of two sayings: 
Broad as the side of a barn and Broad as a barn door. There 
are many variations such as "He couldn't hit the broad side 
of a barn with a shot-gun".  Barn doors were broad because 
they had to admit a fully loaded hay wagon.
