I find it kind of funny.
We have this huge tree in our backyard that looks sturdy and immovable, like iron, or steel or maybe diamond. My dad is in the garage minding his own business when CRASH, he heard this ridiculous noise. A limb wider than me had broken off, slammed its way into the neighbour's backyard, and smashed a rather large hole in the fence.
Sure it's not funny that we have to replace the fence and get this massive limb hauled away, but the fact that the great demolition came out of nowhere is. Here's a tree that seems to stand the test of time one minute, and with no good reason, detaches with great gusto the next.
There's probably some kind of lesson or proverb to be learned here.
Maybe that people aren't always what they seem underneath?
Maybe that it's easier than you think to break down?
One thing's for sure... if I accidentally throw my dog's ball into the lot behind us, I won't have to scale the fence like I usually do.

Tiffy the Pink Fluffy Yellow Llama came from a long and complicated joke made up way back in elementary school by my friend Richard. It had something to do with a strange writing assignment from our incredible english teacher. And yes, it is possible to be a pink llama and a yellow llama at the same time. Just don't ask me how.

That actually is kind of funny. Luckily no one got hurt and now you can go fence shopping! ;)
And sure, taking a lesson or proverb (what is the difference anyways?) from something is a good skill to have.
Thought for lesson/proverb: old things are meant to die out or fall apart. Basically, nothing lasts forever.
Hmmm, good one. Hadn't thought of that one.
Or what about: always check your tree for wood-eating bugs. :)
I try. :)
Haha, that could do it too.
Or grand,majestic things rot/get eaten to death from within so you do not see the demise until it actually happens. Like the world economic situation.
