Pondering

 

 

 

What deep thinkers men are..

 

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.

 

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking on various topics.

 

Finally I thought about an age old question:

 

Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

 

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.

Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.

 

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is the reason for my conclusion.

 

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."

 

On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

 

I rest my case. Time for another beer.

Really dunno. You need to tell us what beer that is in that glass.

What's Dr Who's first name?

Each generation gets dumber, ugglier

1) Whatever happned to snowjunky of late?

 

2) Can anyone plant a sakura tree if they want? If people love them so much, why aren't there more?

[METAL 0]

That's a good one to ponder actually. Interesting there aren't more planted.

[Tubby Beaver 209]

Are you able to grow a tree from a cutting?

[Alexander L 80]

poor road sweepers.

[Alexander L 80]

Viewing sakura: Where do you go?

 

Shinjuku gyoen for me.

2) Can anyone plant a sakura tree if they want? If people love them so much, why aren't there more?

 

They get pretty big, and supposedly cannot be pruned if one wants them to bloom properly, so that probably limits where they can be planted.

 

That said, there are lots of them in my neighborhood.

 

Though to be honest, outside of hanami season, they're not particularly interesting to look at...

Good to have some variety.

[muikabochi 208]

Yes I was going to say that for 50 weeks of the year they aren't particularly good lookers.

[Tubby Beaver 209]

I have one in my back garden.........at home. We used to hate it as its kinda in the middle of the garden and would get in the way of me and my brothers games of 2-touch. Come spring, we'd volley the ball off the branches and watch the pretty pink petals rain down.....much to my mum's annoyance. We didn't know it was worshipped by the Japanese

[pie-eater 207]

You must be making that up. Foreign countries don't have sakura trees.

[Tubby Beaver 209]

or 4 seasons

[pie-eater 207]

Correct.

[Slippery Jim 65]

Not enough room to sit?

 

Plenty of room, but have to lean out and look left for a really good view.
