He said, "Look at my hair. It used to be so magnificent, but it's completely gone now. My hair can't be saved. But look outside at the forest. It's such a lovely forest with so many trees, but sooner or later they'll all be cut down and this forest will look as bald as my hair."
"What I want you to do..." the man continued. "Is, every time a tree is cut down or dies, plant a new one in my memory. Tell your descendants to do the same. It shall be our family's duty to keep this forest strong."
So they did.
Each time the forest lost a tree, the children replanted one, and so did their children, and their children after them.
And for centuries, the forest remained as lush and pretty as it once was, all because of one man and his re-seeding heirline...
Not even remotely.
Because unhappy, unromantic and unpleasant meetings are always sombre.
"Like a bra, not a braai"

She said he's a glue-ru.
You re-zoom it
Now I have no idea who I drink with
...all they had to say was "get Elon little doggie".
the local origami society has folded.
Because he is a PM, not an AM
Needless to say, all the seats were already taken.
I'm glad to have the no-vid kind teen.
I guess, "I'll catch you later" wasn't the right phrase.
Well I’ll be damned.
We call it our Con Den session.
It blue up.
Because nobody likes a nay-sayer.
“I guess it’s probably the wrong time.”
Maybe that will resolve things.
(Not OC but I saw it on FB and it was new to me)
Nobody took the meeting minutes
He has a boos problem
"it's mice to meet you"
I said “Don’t worry we’ll all be in the same boat”
It felt like I was speaking to 50 Cent.
"What brings you here?" asked the host on my first day.
I said, "My legs."
"I don't accept charity."
Ribbit
It’s their fall meeting.
I'm sure I never met herbivore.

Nice to meat — ew!
Me: Communication problems in the department? It’s the first I’m hearing about it.
He got in a cab and yelled "floret!"
Do all dads just come together at some secret location trying to think of the best dad jokes to tell? It would be like a secret society.
It was an all-knighter.
I might go if I have nothing on.
You had to be there.

Turns out she was just going to the cat-holic church
So it was my first time meeting my girlfriend's family and it was a holiday so I had assumed it would go like how it is in the movies, the guy being constantly criticized by the girl's family and told he's not good enough but I must have lucked out as they absolutely loved me, after we had the traditional thanksgiving meal at around 4, her family and I went to the porch to drink and joke around. On the way out to the porch, buzzed me thought it would be hilarious to take someone's ukelele with me and hide it on the porch, I promised myself that before the day is over, I'd use that ukelele as a joke piece and get everyone to love me even more. So the evening is going great, everyone's drunk, laughing, telling funny family stories when all of a sudden, I stand up, get everyone's attention and I grab the ukelele, picked it up and said
"I like to play a little guitar"
The hysterical, drunken laughs of everyone on the porch was the highlight of the best Thanksgiving I've ever had.
He was quite the specimen.
They always bring something to the table.
Noone came
