Caption Contest (bit of fun)

I woke up the other morning hearing a HUGE crash. I jumped out of bed checked all the rooms. Found nothing fallen over so i went back to bed thinking it must of come from upstairs.


Well when I later dragged myself out of bed and opened the living room curtains I was face with this.



So just for a bit of fun what caption would you put to this picture

the winner is Brandon66

Re: Caption Contest (bit of fun)

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
(He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day)
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavat'ry
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea
(He cuts down trees...)
(He's a lumberjack...)
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I love to press wild flow'rs
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars
(He cuts down trees...)
(He's a lumberjack...)
I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papar
(He cuts down trees...)
(He's a lumberjack...)

DAILY GLOBE

Large tree falls for boy.

Boy says that all previous advances had been met with nothing but groans and cracks of laughter. The future looks grim as tree splits and leaves for other plant (timber).
