I don’t understand how that’s a buzz kill, particularly how MacFarlane quoted two of the D’Oyly Carte operas in the show. And yes, I am a G & S man.

whether it is or isn’t important to be able to tell the difference in the various kinds of wood isn’t the issue here. recognizing irony is. my father, pensioned lumber tradesman, agrees with me. so please, get a sense of humor.
I have a very well-developed sense of humor; please note the Monty Python quote, above (specifically from the Lumberjack Song). The thing is, in order for a sense of humor to be displayed, it must be stimulated by something that is actually funny.
The author’s written some of the best books ever on wood as a material, its properties and correct use and so on. Sure, the title can be parsed in a way that’s funny, but for a very small set of people this is a really useful skill.
In woodshop, we had a week of learning how to identify wood on sight with no labelling. On the first day, I took out a handheld microscope I used in Chem and did exactly this. The teacher couldn’t stop laughing for the full hour of the class. 8D
first.
I hate yew
I see what you did there.
it looks like mdf to me
Old pic is old…
Seriously old. I could swear this one’s been on here at least twice before.
Swearing makes baby Jesus cry.
hey dont call me a crybaby!
Not you, the baby you.
And can I just say I’m still impressed as hell as to how you do the whole trans-dimensional, triumvirate thing. Big fan.
You can identify my wood…if you know what I mean.
“Yep, its a twig alright Jim.”
Bahahahahaha!!! xD
Touché.
=) boom nutshot.
lol, epic own.
It WAS wood; well at least while I was at ‘Hawtness – The Women of WTF’. But when i got here it went away…
Throw it in water. If if floats, BURN IT!!!!
If it doesn’t float, you wasted some fire wood.
Is that how you identify “witch” wood it is? (Thank you, I’m here all week)
hahaha A WITCH! SHE’S A WITCH!!!!
I am not a witch. And this isn’t my nose; it’s a false one.
Well… we did do the nose…. and the hat.
No no, if it floats, weigh it against a duck, and if it’s heavier, THEN burn it!
Lame picture and caption. Yea, it’s wood. But what kind is the point.
No s**t?!
Either way, I think it’s funny.
Ah, Buzz Killington has arrived. Just in time too.
At last he can enlighten us as to the birth of the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company.

thats what she said
this is one HELLA old pic. was on /b/ before the internets.
It’s probably the oldest demotivition.
It’s almost like “recognising trees from far, far away” ^^
the larch.
The Flatulent Elm of West Eisley?
Not that funny. Identifying which type of wood by it’s appearence is a time honored craftsman’s skill and not all that easy.
Well whoop-de-s**t.
You have a to have a dirty mind to get it.
or any sense of humor.
There are several hundred, perhaps thousands of varieties of wood out there; it’s rather important to be able to tell which is which.

haha lol can’t stop laughing at this.. srsly.. ahahaH!
Original image was from one of Something Awful’s Photoshop Phridays. It’s been around for at least a few years.
But what kind of wood is it?
Surely not laminated chipboard? The bottom looks like chipboard. That would be so sad…

Yeah. Woodworkers and carpenters are a very small group, aren’t we?
… really useful skill?… so is picking your nose to clear out boogers so you can breathe freely again… doesn’t mean it can’t be funny >_>

identify wood… oh boy… ambiguous…joke…overload!!!!!! danger, danger!!! this device will destroy itself in 5 sec… *booooom*
… wasn’t that a “pre-mature explosion”? … -ROFL-
I’m assuming the “simple tool” is referring to the dude with the deelio held to his eye?
-facepalm-
no it’s not…
it’s a marshmallow
…
DUH
I totally own this book – had to get it for my cabinetmaking course.
You know it’s a good book when it even makes the college professors crack jokes
That is probably the shortest book ever.
You are wrong if you think that
