Aw man, you gotta know the classic treeguy "WHOOO, WHOOO"! It's kinda hard to type it out effectively, but that pitch can usually be heard (eventually) over equipment. The first time someone did that to me, I was like "what, you think I'm your ####ing dog now or something douche- bag??" it does work though. lol.

I actually have a brand new whistle, so I've had that thought too... just never bothered taking it out of the plastic. I guess that would be a little over the top.

"Stop making toothpicks!" Ground guy cutting up brush way too small, usually just for the pure joy of cutting stuff with the chainsaw.

"That was the biggest tree I ever sawed!"

"Will the truck pull the tree or will the tree pull the truck?" Luckily, it has always been the first one for me :hmm3grin2orange:.

Short and fat or skinny and tall sooner or later they all gotta fall.
This is gonna suck.
I'll do a proper pruning cut on that apple tree when I get the rest of this ash down.

Coma!: local climber warning.

To client: Compare removing your tree to making an omelet. When you make an omelet a few eggs get broken. Think of your yard as an egg.

Textition- the guy who cant put down his phone, give him a simple task, all is well till he gets a text, then forgets what he............................... LOL,OMG Idk brb...................was doing

Emotiontroll- guy who needs positive feed back (pats on the back) all the time, for doing the same thing everyone else is doing.

DEFLECTOR- guy who will come up with the crazy ascs excuse why, what he did, is someone elses (sp?) fault.

Pro Avoider- guy who will make himself look busy so he don't have to help the others, taken twice as long to put up his gear, timing it perfectly with the last log

Halfman- guy who does not have enough internal fortitude (balls) to own up to his f-ups.

All these came from me thinking about 1 guy!
