I have to point out tree don't grow that way...

[–]pasmeme 16 points17 points ago

He should be growing Bamboo instead. Shit grows much faster.

[–]nickcoombes 4 points5 points ago

No branches though.

[–]Whybother553 4 points5 points ago

He could lay on top of it, if he doesn't mind the pain.

[–]jumalaw 5 points6 points ago

[–]Whybother553 0 points1 point ago

That's exactly what I was talking about. I just don't know how to link from my phone

[–]burntsalmon 20 points21 points ago

It's like smoking cigarettes.

[–]SirDigbyChicknCeasar 0 points1 point ago

Not just smokes man, everything. Everything everyone does is analogues to this picture. Going outside, eating, breathing in polluted air. Granted somethings are on a much smaller scale than smoking but we can't live without constantly dieing in small, slow ways.

[–]theinvigorator 13 points14 points ago

Is there a reason he looks like Theodore Roosevelt?

[–]Iamgoingtooffendyou 8 points9 points ago

Speak softly and grow a big tree.

[–]theinvigorator 5 points6 points ago

He plans on turning that tree into many big sticks.

[–]DialSquare 4 points5 points ago

TEDDY DON'T DO IT!

[–]djxfactor306 1 point2 points ago

Thought the same thing. Not Teddy. :(

[–]TrollingKevi 8 points9 points ago

This is depressing and funny at the same time

[–]baccus83 4 points5 points ago

Funpressing?

[–]Whybother553 2 points3 points ago

Deprenny?

[–]JayyDol 2 points3 points ago

Funessing

[–]bonkDTF 1 point2 points ago

That is just dirty.

[–]throw_a_weigh11 3 points4 points ago

I dunno, this is just depressing for me. It speaks to me of the inevitability of not being able to wait for old age to kill you. To know that you're going to have to take care of it yourself.

[–]Protalio 5 points6 points ago

Theodore Roosevelt was a very patient man.

[–]ameliamirerye 0 points1 point ago

was thinking the same thing

[–]mechy84 1 point2 points ago

Please, someone direct me to the t-shirt company. This belongs in my line of offensive t-shirts.

[–]yergi 1 point2 points ago

Won't work. Trees grow from the top (branches don't move up).

[–]EXSUPERVILLAIN 4 points5 points ago

[–]fentooooon[S] -5 points-4 points ago

I saw this picture on fatpita.com and posted it. Guess there isn't much you could really put as the title

[–]milkisyummy 3 points4 points ago

All hail fentooooon! Amazing karma whoring my friend. Amazing!

[–]meepstah 0 points1 point ago

This seems like as good a place as any to ask...

What, really, is the point of that? I mean, there's got to be some time and effort involved in digging up enough shit to post to get 10,000 upvotes...is there a secret society with an entrance fee or something? Why would anyone DO that?

People upvote my snarky, insightful, well worded retorts for comment karma and of that I'm maybe slightly proud...but the link stuff simply escapes my understanding.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

He could just lay over a stalk of sprouting bamboo and that would be quicker. Two days or so... That's just a waste of air...

[–]mementomori4 0 points1 point ago

The artist is Henrik Drescher.

[–]snuffleupawhat 0 points1 point ago

Boy meets world got pretty morbid eh?

[–]YourMomsMilkMan 0 points1 point ago

Insert witty joke about national debt.

[–]RMiranda 0 points1 point ago

*Life

[–]nukefudge 0 points1 point ago

source. source. SOURCE!

never forget. shame on you, OP.

[–]kaizenallthethings 0 points1 point ago

No, that is just stupidity. The branch that he has tied the rope to is never going to get any higher. That is not how trees grow.

[–]aesamattki 0 points1 point ago

How is this funny?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

that is how I feel when dealing with my ex wife

[–]Ellimis 0 points1 point ago

Also, that isn't how trees work.

[–]adzug 0 points1 point ago

this is what cigarette smokings like

[–]TSkirvinator 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, he wouldn't die of hunger or anything like that...
