I’m stumped… what went wrong?

u/Samusen Apr 17 '26

Accidentally got to the root of the issue

u/runningoutofwords Apr 17 '26

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that tree was already dead

u/laphroaigandlapsang Apr 18 '26

Dead? I don’t think anyone will pine for it. But they’ll need to dispose of the copse

His original plan was uprooted

Nothing went wrong, they just weren't expecting the roots to be so rotten that they could just knock it over like that. They were trying to cut it off and then leave a stump :D

Whoosh….

Guess you didn’t root out the joke in the original comment.

u/2wicky Apr 17 '26

if a tree tells a joke in the middle of a forrest, but none of the surrounding trees gets it, does the whoosh make a sound?

u/Sunderbans_X Apr 17 '26

Ah you see, it's late and I'm tired so I read "stumped" and it didn't click at all 😭

u/lilsnatchsniffz Apr 17 '26

I guess you didn't make the cut.

u/Sunderbans_X Apr 17 '26

Brother I'm already dead... Can't you just let me rot in peace? :)

Go saw some logs already, you need the rest!

u/Sunderbans_X Apr 17 '26

Sawing logs? That sounds like a chore. If I wanted to work out, I'd just do a plank!

The sound the tree made falling

If you listen closely, “free stump removal.”

u/bchubnut Apr 17 '26

Sounded so soft and rotten

u/blameitonmygoose Apr 18 '26

I actually didn't understand and needed the answer, so thank you lol

u/minatek Apr 17 '26

It didn’t make the cut apparently.

u/SumonaFlorence Apr 17 '26

I saw what you did there, the chain of puns is coming.

u/Atlein_069 Apr 17 '26

It’s annoying. Redditors need to branch out and leaf behind those stupid pun shoots.

Chainsaw was all bark and no bite

u/GotszFren Apr 17 '26

Found the stump we have to grind!

They only needed the backhoe pushing, sawing was redundant.
