That's what it looked like to me, Mike. And regarding its length, any idiot can measure a tree's height, and hence it's future length on the ground, using nothing but your spread fingers held at arm's length. Heck, I'm an idiot, and I know how to do it.
A drunk troll eating spam wandered into your comment section, and said, "Hello, my name, is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." (You've made me laugh a lot, here's my return on investment, I hope it pays off and you're laughing.)
They’d delimbed it to the top, used wedges to initiate the fall, and from what I could see after the drop, took the crown off. Although I didn’t see a bucket truck they could’ve had one off picture. Bucket truck = pro at some level. If no truck, one of them spiked it - which means a level of experience. It would have been straightforward to take the trunk down in 4’ chunks until it was quit obviously safe to drop it. They got lazy. And the worksite was a mess. Any arborists I’ve ever worked for would never have left that pile of limbs lying there before the drop. ( I ought to know - I was always the guy running the chipper) Nowhere to run if it starts heading the wrong way
6 reminds me of the gal who worked at the local seed corn plant and had to drive her boss' pickup back to the plant from the field. When she said she'd never driven a stick before, the boss growled "the instructions are on the knob". When she finally pulled into the plant the pickup was in first gear and she constantly killed it off even then. By the end of the season she could drive a stick and was really proud of it.
#10 is photoshopped. Guy bounces off the glass door, the steer jumps through the doorway, then the people have to open the door to exit. What's wrong with this picture?
#6 That reminds me of learning to drive a stick shift when I was a kid many years ago when it really was a "standard" transmission. My father taught me. He took me to all the auto stores in town and said he was looking for a used stick shift car for his son. Then he had me do the test drive. By the time I hit the third store, I was doing OK. A lot of salesmen were pissed, though.
#5 - The origin of "Taking a dump"?
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll be first...
ReplyDelete#5 reminds me of some Really Good Dumps I've taken.....
That one reminded me of this.

#3, That guy obviously wasn't paying attention in geometry class.
ReplyDeleteThat guy was AIMING for that house...or thought it was shorter.
DeleteThat's what it looked like to me, Mike.

ReplyDelete#3: That's why you hire pros.

#1 I wonder how Kertwang got his name?
ReplyDelete#5 - the start of a good morning

#10 How to get looters out of your store, works every time.
ReplyDelete#5 no comment necessary, I think most of your readers have felt that.
ReplyDelete#8 skills.

ReplyDelete#5 is something a lot of recent divorcées and jilted lovers would like to use. How do you order a load?
ReplyDelete- Mr. Mayo
#10 - "Skin that one, Pilgrim and I'll being you another'n!"
ReplyDelete(Immediately thought of Jeramiah Johnson)
#1 and #7 You can't fix Stupid, but they will feel it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh

ReplyDeleteThe door swings both ways. Guy hits it, it opens inward and pushes 3 people aside, they push it back out and haul ass.
DeleteThat's what I saw too.
DeleteLooks like #4 really wanted to play, but the kids haven't seemed to notice the invite.
ReplyDelete#4 Never "play" with a wild deer, their hooves are as sharp as razors.

ReplyDelete#5, how you feel during your colonoscopy prep.
