LOL - HarvardOiler

I remember him bragging about how he could plant up to 3000 trees in a day, breaking all records.

First off, there are no "records" to be broken. There are no trophies handed out at the end of the tree planting season in front of a mostly stuffy crowd in Toronto for the fastest planter. All that happens at the end of the tree planting season is that you go home unexpectedly and you get stiffed quite a bit on your last paycheck. Simply put - that's it; no glory.

Secondly, Batman on meth couldn't plant 3,000 trees in a day. That's 300 per hour based on a 10 hour day. In some spots, you're lucky to get 300 per day, let alone per hour. He made that comment banking on nobody knowing what tree planting was all about; unfortunately for him, I've done that fucking job.

Oh, and let's not forget he was a world class pianist, to boot. Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson phone him daily hoping he can give advice on how to improve their chops.

Forget Fuck Dallas; Fuck HarvardOiler!
