- Etaoin, on 10/11/2007, -9/+253Maybe I'm missing something. How is locking your bike to a tree a cruel thing to do? Was the tree going somewhere important? I mean, I get the sign-drilling thing, but the other part is just silly.
- BunnieLebowski, on 10/11/2007, -10/+244uh oh hippie fight
- jwolcott, on 10/11/2007, -9/+222Simple. Guy locks bike to tree for 2 years. Guy has bike tire stolen while locked to tree. Guy writes note on wood and screws it to tree. Guy 2 comes along and writes response on cardboard telling Guy 1 that that is what he gets for screwing the tree for 2 years. You don't get it cuz it's just not that funny at all.
- fooboarder, on 10/11/2007, -13/+198WTF. Who screws a board into a tree like that?
- superal1394, on 10/11/2007, -11/+153Guy rides bike as his commute, a green thing to do mind you, however some hippy steals his tires because he is 'hurting' the tree by locking his bike to it. They guy who obviously understands that a tree is just a ***** tree drills a sign to it that cannot be easily removed so as the robber will see it, who then posts a retarded response.
Its alot like Digg comments - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -11/+137"innocent tree" LOL.
- BamaStangGuy, on 10/11/2007, -4/+83It's a lot like the Digg comment system. The creators understand it but everyone else just thinks its retarded.

Nope, still can't read it. - masterfoo, on 10/11/2007, -7/+64I like the fact that the guy pointing out his injustice to the tree wrote it on a piece of paper... talk about karma
- LxRogue, on 10/11/2007, -3/+55Does stealing this from reddit give us bad or good karma?
- sebek, on 10/11/2007, -13/+61me neither
- grazie, on 10/11/2007, -2/+41It says:
If you're reading this, you're too close. - KMye, on 10/11/2007, -2/+38That tree was guilty as hell, IMO
- altwoodkane, on 10/11/2007, -2/+37Can anyone read the small writing on the sign before the paper one begins?
- kefler, on 10/11/2007, -6/+41But... he didn't screw the sign to the tree until AFTER his tire was stolen. So is it reverse temporal karma?? His tire was stolen because he was going to bolt a sign to that tree in the future because his tire was stolen...
== HEAD ASLPLODE == - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+40could someone tell us?
Cause.. I don't know either.. - webcure, on 10/11/2007, -21/+55Poetic justice indeed, with a large wallop of karma!
I digg it! - TheWorm, on 10/11/2007, -4/+35But locking a bike to a tree doesn't harm the tree, and neither does drilling a couple screws through it.
Is the joke on the guy who posted the reply or the guy who got his tire stolen, because I think that response was just garbage. - cbuddha42, on 10/11/2007, -0/+28How is locking your bike to a tree hurting the tree?
- Anthem26, on 10/11/2007, -5/+31maybe he screwed the bike to the tree like he did with the board...
- fooboarder, on 10/11/2007, -10/+35So the 1st guy is pissed about his bicycle tire being stolen, and invokes a karmic curse. The second is pointing out that the tree served a purpose to the 1st guy by allowing him to lock his bike to it, and he repays the tree by screwing a huge sign to it.
The 2nd guy is basically just pointing out how stupid the 1st guy is....what is there not to get? - samsam123, on 10/11/2007, -5/+27then the tree robbed a bank
- gamche, on 10/11/2007, -4/+26I reported you as being stupid.
- JoeDiggsIt, on 10/11/2007, -3/+25WTF Someone tell us!!! [sobs]
- phatphil, on 10/11/2007, -8/+29I get it, it's just not funny at all. Buried as lame.
- jvnane, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18did you figure this out all by yourself?
- gmprunner, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19But he didn't kill the tree, so we're confused as to who the joke is aimed at.
- FLaw, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17Trees have feelings too...
- celeb, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17Obviously a punk who misplaced his hammer and nails.
- ki1022, on 10/11/2007, -5/+18Lemme guess, this is in Seattle somewhere? lol
- glitch47, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13
i believe that's the worst spelling of the word "beautiful" ever made in the history of the universe. - toonworld, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12recycled paper
- sephiroth965, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15No.
- QuorumCall, on 10/11/2007, -8/+20Yeah... wrapping a chain around or putting a couple of screws into a tree is going to come anywhere close to killing it. It'd be like a flea bite on an elephant.
- Gizza, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15Send the image to a Las Vegas casino. They have the technology to blow this up enough to read it.
- therightclique, on 10/11/2007, -4/+16he absolutely did NOT post a clever response. nothing is clever about it. so far, we know nothing about the first guy other than his bike tire got stolen. we DO KNOW that the second guy is a huge tire stealing ***** who thinks trees are harmed by tying something to them. the second person is a tree-hugging *****. for sure. this anti-logging ***** has gone too far. first of all, the person rode a bike. that's pretty eco-friendly to begin with. now, you stole their tire, so they have to drive their car. *****.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11just curious... how does locking your bike to a tree hurt the tree in any way?
- chewy5000, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14i think the drilled sign means that its hurting the tree even more, thus implying even worse karma
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13A very thorough hippie, apparently.
- Farhan, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12wtf is with the explanation ?
- kivimaki, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9And where is the punchline? How is this getting 2000+ diggs?
- montiff, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8... or San Fransisco, or Portland .... or Austin ......
- Scarfy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7What would you expect it to be written on?
- edein, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9wait...so this guy been stalking the other guy for 2 years for this?
- supermajic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8It's not at all witty. I think the problem here is that people think there is something more to get, because it really isn't that funny.
I loled at the original sign though, someone obviously went to much effort to screw that sign there. - AvidPreatorian, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8how does stupidity get so many diggs
- pogfreak, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10how does this make it onto the front page of digg O_o
- piznut, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6No, we get the 'joke'. The hippy is a ***** moron and we could laugh but then that's like laughing at someone with down's syndrome. Yes karma, blah blah blah...all god's creatures, etc...
It's still not funny..Ironic maybe but not funny.
OMG the hippie's sign is made from cardboard which came from a tree that was killed..oh the humanity! - Elshender, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I blew it up in photoshop and heightened the contrast. I can sorta make out the first line. I think it says "Don't judge by the" and then after that it's just unreadable.
