Well basically it's a fun little thread having a larf at us Arborists because we're always in Arborist Mode. I'll start the first few you guys continue:

You know you're an Arborist when you dream of how you dismantle the tree.
You know you're an Arborist when before you park your car under a tree you inspect it for defects before you park.(Thanks Trev)
You know you're an Arborist when you come home and sit on Tree World after working with trees all day.
You know you're an Arborist when you see a "so called" Tree services that advertises rubbish removal and you scream out "HACKS!"

You know you're an arborist when you forget the customers name but remember the tree's.

You know you're an arborist when others admire the tree and you the high point.

You know you're an arborist when you take a long cut to drive past a tree you pruned years ago.

You know you're an arborist when you suggest they move the fence line rather than the tree.

You know you're an arborist when you consider lawn expendable to impact damage.

You know you're an Arborist when your wife checks your ears for sawdust before coming to bed.

You know you're an Arborist when 'Silky' has nothing to do with supple.

You know you're an Arborist when your Mom consistently calls you Treeguy.

You know you're an Arborist when you go on vacation and pack enough gear to do a treejob that might just come up.

You know you're an Arborist when you can sell a treejob after having casual conversation with a total stranger in the checkout line of a hardware store.

You know you're an Arborist when your wife holds a picture of a

to get your attention

You know you're an Arborist when you spot damage to a tree trunk by the roadside and think about how bad that wound is and the future decay when someone had a car accident and probly got pretty banged up themselves.

Still.... it wasnt the trees fault.

You know you're an Arborist when even during a competitive car rally you notice the real big forest trees.

You know you're an Arborist when it normal to come home with sawduct in your jocks!

mdvaden · 21st August 2007, 06:21 PM

You know you are an arborist when your forearms have scars with the pattern of Silky handsaw teeth from cutting through limbs too quickly.

Remember the TV series with David Carradine as "Grasshopper" (Kwai Chang Caine) where he finishes his final test with carrying the hot container that burns the dragons into his forearms?
