who couldn't see that one coming.....:whoops:






........but... ... they did get the tree out :cool:
 
What were they thinking would happen?
 
interesting how they all went silent afterwards....

not quite Darwinian Selection probably, but close
 
did you notice that front of the truck up against the wall?
"nowhere to run to.... nowhere to hide...."
 
:doh: How to get a South African quiet......... That is some funny stuff. Note the great use of the F word in Afrikaans.
 
At least it's loaded.......:grinpimp:
 
Not too bright would be a huge understatement. At least he wasn't still in the bed using the comealong to bring it down.
 
I bet they thought they were saving money by doing it themselves . . . I was trying to talk a friend into removing a branch over his house by tying a bunjee cord to it, pulling it taut with his car and tossing a limb cutter over the branch - luckily he knows I'm a jackass with some seriously deadpan sarcasm

This made my day. I laughed until I cried. Now he will be buying a new truck, new underware, and new pants. I am sure that soiled the last two. :censor: :doh: :bang: Too funny
 
Classic:bounce::eek::whoops::censor::bang:
 
He saved himself lots of work. Now he doesn't have to load the tree on the truck. It's already there!
 
I wonder if anybody in that video, especially the operator of that come-a-long / truck, realized how close to death he came! I think if the wall the truck nose ended up against, had been one foot closer, the guy would have been seriously injured or dead. I am just amazed how we can sometimes do such stupid things and not know we just looked the grim reaper in the face. After he jumped out at the end, he looked more concerned about the condition of his truck, than anything else. I would have been counting my fingers and toes!
 
If you think this is funny, you should have seen my fawking stupid ass mofo next door neighbor, which I seriously despise, try to cut down a cotton wood that just happened to be growing right on the fence adjacent to my house. Dumb fawk climbed up a 30' tree, wedged himself between two branches and started to cut limbs with his POS home depot special chain saw...he did all this w/out ladders or protective gear. It was truly a Darwin moment in the making.

Dude was from China and worked as an engineer, debatable as a engineer but definitely dumber than dirt when it came to common sense.
 
Yea, but was your neighbor wearing flip-flops & cut-off jean shorts?
 
Oh my God, in the first two seconds of the video I said, "That tree is gunna come down on the truck." How many guys did you count there, and none of them thought this the whole time ...

Priceless ...

Hahahahaha ...
