Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for January 22, 2013

Just answers the old question.

Axe them firmly and see what they have to say.

I thought maybe that suspicious looking tree on the left gnawed his roots….

But I hear his bark is worse than his bite.

BTW Mark, I love the expression on the fallen tree.

One tree, out of scene, was pining.

What a couple of saps!

The cop has to go out on a limb.

If a tree falls in the forest… nobody gets involved.

Bruno, you should never believe a pun.They’re just playing with you.

A tree falls in Brooklyn.

And we all know if a man makes a statement in the forest and there’s no woman around to correct him, he’s still wrong.

Apparently not the work of an ax murderer. Ashes to ashes, sawdust to sawdust. Of course, he might be an oak or a maple, not an ash. (SS: I know you wood come up with some good ones.)

If at tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does the Sierra Club still get mad?

Looks like the cops are stumped.

And his friends don’t look very chipper, either. Wood you?

Hey! Down in front! I can’t see the forest!

They won’t be taking a bough soon. I guess it’s what they get for working at a branch office. Maybe if they rooted around for some clues, they would soon be beaming.

Excellent work, everyone! One of the best sets of comments ever!

Sound off.

That solves it, no one wood hear.
