In the years I've been here on the Forestry Forum, there have been many times where I've read a comment by someone and laughed out loud, or thought that's one of the smartest things I've ever read, or catchiest comments I've ever seen, or some down to earth words of wisdom. 

I think we should have a thread where we put 'em, so we can find 'em again.  If you find a great comment, or something that made you smile, or made you think, cut and paste it, and put it in here.   ;D

What motivated this was a comment I read of Tom's, in a thread about grilled meat, where someone said that the char marks are carcinogenic.

Tom's words of wisdom:

Quote from: Tom on April 25, 2007, 11:50:48 PM
I suppose I'm trying to go through life without death being my ultimate goal.  It's just a symptom of the trip. :)

The other one I really like is something that used to be someone's tagline (I wanna say that it was Logrite's for awhile..of course I can't find it now that I'm looking for it).

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - ' Wow! What a ride!'

I did not think that one up, but I wish I had.  :D   It is certainly one of my favorites. I think I saw it posted by the guy who has the dog named "Mr Dodo Bird" or something like that.  ::)

English Prime Minister Tony Blair's comment when asked by one of his parliment members why he believes so much in America:

"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in....And how many want out.  Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the American G.I."

Subject: Ted Nugent


Ted Nugent, Rock star and avid bowhunter was being interviewed by a French
journalist and the discussion came around to deer hunting.

The journalist asked, "What do you think is the last thought in the head of
a deer before you shoot him? Is it, 'Are you my friend?' or is it 'Are you
the one who killed my brother?'"

Nugent replied, "Deer aren't capable of that kind of thinking. All they care
about is, "What am I going to eat next, who am I going to s...w next, and
can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the French."

Perhaps my all time favorite from the Forestry Forum, from good ole Mark M:

"Norm, I hope da wife doesn't get lost in dat DanG snow storm! By the way dats the biggest outhouse I ever did see just off da end of ur barn in dat pitcher. I see da wind musta blowed roof clean off that crapper"

Makes me laugh every time...
