When I was 18 I went to work in the North woods of Maine as a lumberjack. The foreman to an instant dislike to me and insisted I prove I could do the job. He handed me an ax and pointed to a tree, said "Cut it down." With one might swing of the ax I laid it low.
He pointed to a bigger one, same thing one swipe. Then he picked out the biggest tree in the forest and ordered me to cut it down. Again, one mighty blow and down it came.

He said, I thought I knew every top lumberjack in the state of Maine but I've never seen the likes of you. Where did you work last"? I replied, "The Sahara forest." he said "Sahara Forest"? don't you mean Sahara desert"? I said, well, it is now."?
