What if a grading service doesn't go bankrupt and a tree falls

coinguy1

in the woods but no one is there to hear it?


This is my completely transparent attempt to steer the board away from the "If a grading service goes bankrupt.. " thread. No serioue replies, please!

LanLord

Okay, I'm not being serious.

coinguy1

edited to "serious" instead of "serioue" and thanks LanLord, for not being serious!

Did I hear the sound of one hand clapping?

Mark--
We discussed it and found it disgusting.

Groucho once said that to someone in a movie "We discussed you-- and found you disgusting!" I love it.

Well I am sorry... I can not clap a falling tree with one hand and not hear it, or hear it, or whatever.

Never tried with two hands or two trees.

Marks,

Oops, sorry, I was the one that resurrected it. Let me try to make amends by bringing this one to the top.

More importantly, what if that tree fell on a bear while he was in the middle of taking a dump in those woods? Would the Pope still be Catholic?

I always got that mixed up! I thought it was "Is a bear catholic? Does the Pope live in the woods?"

My bad

Russ,

I think only Bear could answer (part of ) your question.

ursabear

Whoof...

When I hear the sound of one hand clapping it makes me think of the sound of a tree that's *not* falling on some poor bear in the forest when no-one is around, but one hand out makes it hard to explain just how big that fish I caught was...

What if a tree fell, and landed on the grading service?

Pushkin

I feel sorry about the guy who was whistling in the graveyard when the tree fell on him. He gave up the ghost, so to speak.

<< <i>...He gave up the ghost, so to speak. >>



Is there a 12-step program for giving up ghosts?

Inquiring bears want to know

Must have been a BEARly good grading service to get caught in the woods like that, and what was the grading service doing in the woods in the first place?

coinguy1

danglen - would that be: listening for the sound of a falling tree that it couldn't see?

Pushkin

I know this is a fun thread regarding not going bankrupt, but the more replies that are posted the more obvious it becomes that the grading services are "not out of the woods yet".


Don't anyone try to tell me they are hanging around and defecating in the woods just so they can grade wooden nickels.

Clankeye

I wouldn't want to be in you guy's shoes when Bear reads this thread. No-siree Bob.

numobri

I think he'll bear with us,woodin you?

Pushkin

Bear, I'm sure he'll make the grade, but knock on wood, just to be safe - and stay away from bankrupt threads.

laserart

In regard to the Pope havin a poop in the woods, I'm sure a bear won't come any near him, even if a tree does fall on a Catholic with the clap.

Bear

I thank Ursabear and Petescorner for filling for me. First of all, it is unseemly to

drop a tree on somone taking their constitutional privelege. secondly I owe each of the rest of you

jokesters the opportunity to have me come over and gnaw your foot off.Let it be known to all,

in the four corners of the land, no one messes with Bear in his forest. To do so will require a retaliation

of the most massive proportions. So sleep well you unsuspecting souls, a vengeful bear is silently

padding his way towards you slumbering hulks of humanity with naught but mayhem on my mind.

Revenge Bear

Yikes, Bear, this otherwise light hearted thread has suddenly taken on a very somber and threatening tone. I hope you don't gnaw, I mean know where I live.

Bear

Coinguy -
The Bear knows all !!!!!!!


The Bear sees all !!!!!


The Bear hears all !!!!!

coinguy1

That's what I was afraid of.

Bear

Coinguy - Your only mitigating factor
is the issue of your Icon, which I rather consider cool. Bear

coinguy1

Bear - WHEW, do I ever feel better!
