Just havin' some fun. If anyone can think of some others, feel free to post.


1) After much deliberation, a master decides that he will perform a trunk chop on one of his trees. He makes a clean cut, puts some cut paste over the wound, and retires for the evening. The next day he goes out into his garden and finds that the tree is exactly as tall as it was before he performed the trunk chop. How can this be?


2) A young bonsai enthusiast has a tree that has never been exposed to sunlight, yet after many years, it is thriving beautifully. How is this possible?


3) It was a beautiful spring when the student decided to visit his beloved master. Several days later he arrived at his master’s house where he immediately asked for a tour of the garden. To his astonishment, all of his master’s tree’s were leafless and looked as if they were dying, and here it was already late spring. The student was bewildered how his master could have let all of his beautiful trees fall into such a poor state of health. The master, however, assured him that all of the trees were perfectly healthy and thriving. How can this be?


4) There is a tree whose needles are older than it’s branches, whose branches are older than it's trunk, and whose trunk is older than it’s nebari and roots. How is this possible?


Stumped?
Regards, Scott.
