I cut down my fig tree, for real, this past winter. I was hungry and it had no fruit. Of course, the fact that bugs bored into the trunk and killed it was the motivating factor. I went in the house and had a ham, bacon and pork sandwich.
@edgarblythe,
Did you curse it first? That seems to be the thing to do in that situation...
@edgarblythe,
Meanwhile, under the fig tree, Ed was eating his date.
@FBM,
I like figs. That tree was at least ten years old and only gave good fruit three or four times. The bugs did me a favor. If I had swine and pearls I could at least grow ham and bacon.
I know there is no god. I failed to win the lottery last night.
@edgarblythe,
I thought I saw him. In the toast in 'caption the cartoon'.
@edgarblythe,
In the lottery pool at work we've won the last two weeks in a row. I got $20 and $30. So now I'm agnostic.
@edgarblythe,
Quote:I was hungry and it had no fruit.
Ed, did you really eat your tree?
@hingehead,
Only the bark. Bugs killed off the leaves.
@hingehead,
It chews better with milk.
Behold, I spy Jacob's ladder, with sides of bacon strips and whole hams for rungs. Aye, that's heaven.
@edgarblythe,
Yeah. How can there be atheists when.... BACON?
@hingehead,
Behold its smokey holiness. Or holy smokiness. Or something. Anyway, just behold it between two slices of toasted bread with L and T...
@FBM,
sancto-monias, there you go.
To not to be. That is the answer.
