FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for November 30, 2012
Transcript:
Roger: I'll be out chopping wood if you need me. Andy: Chopping wood?? We have an electric stove and a gas fireplace. What on earth do you need to chop wood for? Roger: Instinct. Winter's coming. We Fox men have it in our blood to make like Paul Bunyan this time of year. Despite what you might think, deep down I'm a rugged, live-off-the-land sort of fellow. Say, you don't know where that lumberjack shirt I bought at Nordstrom is, do you? Andy: I'm afraid it's at the dry cleaners, Paul.

got to be careful roger…some homeowner associations won’t let you chop wood. but, those same homeowner association’s compliance people are people with nothing better to do with their lives.

Golden Bough – Logs to Burn lyrics
chorus:
Logs to burn, logs to burn,Logs to save the coal a turn,Here’s a word to make you wise,When you hear the woodsman cry.
Beechwood logs burn bright and clear, Hornbeam blazes too,If the logs are kept a year, to season through and through.
chorus
Pine is good and so is Yew for warmth through wintry days,The Poplar and the Willow too, they take too long to blaze.
chorus
Oaken logs will warm you well, if they’re old and dry,Larch logs of pinewood smell but the sparks will fly.
chorus
Birch logs will burn too fast, Alder scarce at all,Chestnut logs are good to last, cut them in the fall.
chorus
Holly logs will burn like wax, you should burn them green,Elm logs like smouldering flax, no flames with them are seen.
chorus
Pear logs and Apple logs, they will scent your room,Cherry logs, across the dogs, they smell like flowers in bloom.
chorus
Ash logs, are smooth and gray, burn them green or old,Buy up all that come your way they’re worth their weight in gold.
chorus

That skit was the first thing that came to mind while reading this strip. That is one of my absolute favorite Monty Python routines.

It’s unlikely that Roger is gonna chop any wood any time soon.

I love saving my woman by chopping wood, and she loves me by letting me.
