These fellas? It's how they tells them.

I remember one about the Chinaman or Indian man who got suited up in Harrod's ** (in a kilt) and then started to weep for the loss of empire. ("but Sir is weeping")

I liked Muir the better of the two.

**Savile Row?

I love how Amazon has put it in Sports, Hobbies & Games › Water Sports › Boating and ranked it 498 in Kayaking (Books) !

That's pretty funny! Did you make that up yourself?

Are you still doing this thread resurrection stuff? That is hilarious, even Jesus can the decency to only wait a weekend.

Are you still doing this thread resurrection stuff?

Only inactive ones.

It's deja vu all over again.

I love those Yogi Berra-isms... "Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours."
"The future ain’t what it used to be..."

I cut down a 1000-year-old tree, hollow it out and make a canoe out of it; all in a day's time.

How old is the canoe when I'm finished?

Depends. Would you say it was a canoe a hundred years ago when it was still in tree form?

Obviously not.

 

[jasperr]

Obviously not.

Put yourself in the tree's frame of reference; do you see that it has its inner canoe?

Every tree is a potential set of brand new toothpicks!

"When you come to a fork in the road you should take it."

 

[Kylie]

Obviously not.

So it seems you consider it a canoe only when it is canoe form. Would you agree with that?

Form and function.

 

[Kylie]

Form and function.

A yes or a no please, AV.

 

[AV1611VET]

A yes or a no please, AV.

Yes.

 

[Kylie]

Yes.

So then you can answer your own question. How old is the CANOE?

Post 3 please.

 

[jasperr]

Is it a tree (bush?) or is it a piece of garden furniture?

Are you trying to suggest that God created ex materia?
