Then we could get together for secret "evolution parties" and whisper scandalous evolutionary thoughts to each other while sipping our whiskey sours. We could be part of the "underground movement."
​
Sounds exciting.

You mean you didn't know? I'll check with your nearest cell.

Oh, and watch out for those Christians sucking up. They think they've salted your tail.
​
Next thing you know, you'll be full of regrets and condescension.

Does your wife consider it a mystery too?
​
Yes, she does. She came home that day, and said, "How did you manage to get rid of that stump?"
​
Who cut down the tree?

You shot the sherriff--but you did not shoot the deputy?

Re: The Case of the Inexplicably Called "Unexplainable" Missing Stump
Okay, here's my theory.
​
Many many moons ago, when I was a strapping lad and determined to deny the Machine the Fruits of my Intellect, I took a number of manual labor jobs. I worked for a year or so as an "urban forester"--removing trees that threatened passers-by or sidewalks. Eventually, my conscience got the better of me, as I would rather watch sidewalks buckle and passersby be flattened than cut down another grand old tree.
​
Anyway, one day I was assigned to work with Big Daddy on the stumper. He routinely followed the tree removal team and ground down stumps with a device that looked like a thick circular saw mounted vertically, planing it back and forth over the stump until it was ground away, then covered the depression with dirt. That day his regular assistant was passed out drunk at home, so I was volunteered. We also cleaned up old stumps if we found them near the street or sidewalk, both as an aesthetic(!) issue and to prevent the pollarding regrowth.
​
Call the city. I bet they know who disappeared that stump.

Re: What is sin?
Off topic: Schraf, have I ever told you how hot I think smart women are?

On topic: Is that a sin?
