Mangoes, You sound like a real gentleman and proper professional arborist and I have found your post the words I thought I would hear at this forum, Yes?

Thank you Mangoes for the solidarity.

Iorek
 
We had a school teacher from China sign on at ArboritSite a while back and a couple of people got some time off for giving him such poor treatment. He didn't get as poor a treatment as Iorek is getting....but poor treatment none the less. This fellow was not a troll and still post about once a month sending in photos of his school and students.
 
This is a jest to end all jests! Everyone look in the mirror now and

. My 9th grader just studied Hamlet, and he would have nailed this Iorek/Yorick joke in a NY minute. But it took me a long enough to catch onto the homonymal haha. Here's a taste of Act 4:

KING: I want to hear you speak of Yorick.

HAMLET: What would you have me say?

KING: The truth, or howso it came to pass You two grew closer than you and I.

HAMLET: Every time we speak, we laugh.

KING: It takes more than laughter to rule a kingdom.

HAMLET: He teaches me so many things.

KING: Such as? Please, explain. Give me an example.

HAMLET: About the women of the world.

KING: You are too young to receive those speeches.

HAMLET: No, he told me very little.

KING: There's danger even in a few words.

HAMLET: But what he said, I understood.

KING: He spoke of love, he did?

HAMLET: And other things.

KING: What else? What made him special in your eyes?

HAMLET: He is full of surprise, always ready with a handful of tricks.

KING: A sideshow, you mean.

HAMLET: Magic!

KING: A king rules with laws and wars, not sorcery and dragons.

HAMLET: He knows so much.

KING: There is good knowledge and there is useless knowledge.

HAMLET: He's loyal, too.

KING: Loyalty is important. However, do not expect it, especially from those professing to be loyal.

HAMLET: He's honest.

KING: Honesty is a deadly virtue. Truth to the wrongful ear's tragedy.

HAMLET: Can I go back to sleep now?

KING: One last question, the very last one. If there were one thing--one thing you would say Yorick is to you--a summary of all you've said, what would you say? Answer this carefully.

{Hamlet yawns, scratches his head.}

HAMLET: Yorick is like a father to me.

KING: You may go back to sleep now, Hamlet. That is all.

{Hamlet turns and goes back to sleep. The King stands, pauses before speaking.}

KING [aside]: There, the bloody word, and there the fate,
A fear most feared, now quickly laid to rest.
Yorick fails my final test, and must,
As my final order of thoughts beseech my will,
Be gone, not for a day but for good.
There the fate, and here my final words:
Yorick must die.

{Exit the King.} by Willie the Shake.

You may go back to sleep now, Hamlet. Yorick must die!

A good joke is a good joke, even if it's on us.
