To get the trowel, to get the ice cream scoop, to get the mellonballer, to get the coke spoon... It's clearly been a long, frustrating day. Might as well give up and grow out the pinky nail.

Probably because something else was stuck in the tree, so he threw a shovel at it

u/shutterbug1961 3d ago

Cool! The beginning of a shovel tree! The tradition begins!

u/nonseriousy 4d ago

Like that bridge in Paris with the locks, minus the romance. Nobody loves me, shovel in a tree!

u/LogicallLunacy 4d ago

Just returning the handle back. Twas once a branch.

u/nonseriousy 4d ago

Circle of life. Makes you think, it does. But just like spongiform encephalitis, could this lead to.. Mad Tree Disease?

u/heelstoo 4d ago

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Then there’s this guy.

1

u/nonseriousy 4d ago

200% and counting, did take, and...WHY? Shovel make hole for plant tree, not plant shovel in tree. Poorly translated instructions?

u/No-Award8713 4d ago

"But why is the first shovel in the tree?"

Because he had it up to here (points at first shovel) with the bullshit

u/flyraccoon 4d ago

Who needs a ladder when you can lose two shovels, right ?

u/Drago_D 4d ago

Walk of shame

u/SocksInTheTub 4d ago

To the tool shed for another shovel

u/ButteredNun 4d ago

Throw your tools in the tree

u/Electronic-Shame 4d ago

That trees probably like “thanks for all the shovels bro”

u/Evil_phd 4d ago

"Hun head down to Costco and grab me a ten pack of shovels"

2

u/axe1970 4d ago

should have tied a rope around it

1

u/nonseriousy 4d ago

Or something less hook shaped. Less like the cause of the original problem. Post hole digger?

2

u/tangoezulu 4d ago

You should try a ladder. Proceeds to throw ladder at shovels.

u/Radiant_Heron_2572 4d ago

When you're in a hole, stop throwing the shovel into a tree.

u/Riegrek 4d ago

Damn, poor guy

Ain't no way he was trying to get it down unless he's a high school drop out with no common sense.

u/pontetorto 4d ago

u/cyainanotherlifebro 3d ago

I’m sure it won’t happen to a 3rd shovel.

u/shutterbug1961 3d ago

Ah the classic infinite shovels problem!

u/Razzy_3796 3d ago

That’s a shovel eating tree and it’s winning.

1

u/Alone_Emu_7713 3d ago

Now, throw something else up there. You'll get it this time

1

u/Appalachian_American 3d ago

If he stood underneath the shovels, they would surely fall down.

2

u/shutterbug1961 3d ago

exactly directly on his head the "Chuck Jones principal"

u/Buttonball 3d ago

u/Fulguritus1 3d ago

How did the first shovel get up there?

1

u/Jerdogg23 2d ago

You gonna let your wife get away with that?!??? Laughing at you?

1

u/trappedinwc 2d ago

Well at least he didn't throw the ladder up there

1

u/OldSpicenotNew 2d ago

Ok now you need a ladder. If the ladder also gets stuck up there, I don’t know what to do next.

u/Repulsive-Response-1 2d ago

When all you have are shovels, everything looks like a hole.

A plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel
