Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for April 24, 2024

A sharp, continuous pain in the lower back.

Actually, I had one of those annoying birds in my neighborhood yesterday morning.

It’s your (p)ecker.

Hold still. I’m going to remove your pëcker.

I had a new neighbour last year. The first thing she complained about was the birdsong in our TREE surrounded close. It was at that point I tuned her out. I have visiters’ who come for the peacefulness of my garden!

Guess who? Ha-ha-haa-ha! Ha-ha-haa-ha! Ha-ha-haa-ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Do you have someone who is like a woodpecker to you?

Is there someone who is just a pain in your bark?

Acupuncture just might work!

What a pain in the butt!!!!

get rid of the bugs in your bark and the woodpecker will leave

It seems the doctor learned his speech patterns from Yoda.

One of the disadvantages of being a tree!

Must be bad medicine, apparently that pilleated is causing him pain.

That’s a Proctologist, not a woodpecker!

I like woodpeckers.

Definitely a male tree.

They’re making Bigfoot mad too. Check out today’s Bliss.

I wonder if John Bobbett has a woodpecker?

Pains in the butt can be hard to diagnose. While undergoing radiation for prostate cancer, an itchy, scabby, rash appeared in the area. The cancer specialist said he had never seen the like, so it couldn’t be related to the treatment; and he sent me to my GP. My doctor said he’d never seen anything like it, so it must be the radiation. Thank God, like that woodpecker, it flew away.

I wuz gonna leave a remark, but, man… I can’t top any a these! Lol!!

If the woodpecker repeatedly visits your tree it’s a sign that there’s some kind of infestation. Look into it – it may save your tree from serious damage.

It’s right in his lumber region.

We had 3 types of woodpeckers at our previos house, they loved stealing peanuts from our squirrel feeders. They also loved hammering on our drain pipe – it made the sound carry further. We had a flickers attacking an attic vent at our current house. We had a woodpecker house installed just under it – problem solved. Now we have Kestrels nesting in it.

That could be a pain in the trunk.

It’s IBS – Irritable Burl Syndrome.

How much wood would a woodpecker peck if a woodpecker could peck wood??

It’s a pain in the a$$.
