A Call For Humor!

[mhardy6647]

And just to add some local confusion to this "vegetative" discussion, down in my part of the world we use the term "bush" to describe what others call a forest.

We generally use the term forest in relation to some man made planting of Radiata pine that are harvested but we also refer to ancient Kauri forests when referencing a large stand of long gone Kauri trees.

And just so that there is no confusion, my house is in the bush but I can easily see 10 or 12 trees that are 30 or 40 metres high.

I think the "issue" for us is our native bush/forest is a heady mixture of dense smaller bushes and large trees (unlike a traditional forest) so we focus on it's bush like features when applying a name.

Around here, we call it woods.


one may see a whole bunch of woods from this spot, "French's Ledges" in our little village.


the woods closer to our house in the fall autumn.

That I didn't know per se.
Mrs. H has birded at the Salton Sea many times in years gone by -- I've never been there.
Closest I've been to the Salton Sea is Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

It wasn't funny but it still put a smile on my face.

Na. I can think of a few jokes. Of course, none are socially acceptable or appropriate.

Think of it as a choose your own adventure.

I tried thinking of a joke for that but I was stumped.

One can tell any joke in any country, but in some countries, just once
