Acorns

[billski]

This press release was obviously just one of the tongue-in-cheek variety, but one paragraph struck me:



I have a lot of oaks in my yard. One of them dropped so many acorns that the entire ground underneath it is covered. Maybe they're on to something?

Is your yard hilly? Skiing on them could be interesting...

"Obviously, first of all, this conversation never took place. ... OK?"

I don't know, I have a degree in Finance- a field where a little too much creativity sends you to jail.

Aw hell, most of them don't get caught and they're in play right now.:dunce:

"Obviously, first of all, this conversation never took place. ... OK?"
"You know, you don't have to be too brilliant with these guys, because you don't have to be,"
"You don't want to have that information because ... the commission, when they ask questions, they try and draw out information," Madoff said. "The less that you know how we execute ... the better you are."

I checked for acorns yesterday...nada. However, we do have a ton of pinecones in VT. I filled a huge paper bag with them. I toss one or two in the woodstove when I light a fire.

Yeah, I have a ridiculous amount of acorns in my yard . . . They rain down on my house all night too . . .

And they dull my lawnmower blade . . . Grrrrr . . . .

Mow higher.

Seriously, I never hit acorns when mowing since I normally mow at the highest setting. Mowing higher is just better for a lot of reasons.

I have a low bees nest in the yard. I've heard that is a bad sign.

Yeah, but I have so many acorns, they're piled 3 inches deep!!!

No, but seriously, I have mine on a pretty high setting, and they still get shot out like a cannon.
