A few days after Bush was released from prison, he moved to Oregon to seek employment as a logger.
Bush ain't the biggest guy who ever lived, so the strawboss took a look at him and laughed. "You? A logger? No way."
'But sir, please just give me a chance. I have to find gainful employment in the next twelve hours or they'll throw me back in prison."
So the strawboss felt sorry for him and asked him if he had a chainsaw. 'No sir, I log with a double-bit ax."
The strawboss took him to an 18-inch tree. "Please cut this tree down." In less than 30 seconds, the tree was on the ground.
He then took him to a 24-inch tree, which Bush had down in about a minute.
"Okay, George, if you can cut down this 34-inch tree, you've got a job." It was on the ground in two minutes.
"You're hired, son. Where did you learn to swing an ax like that?"
'I worked the Sahara National Forest.'
"What do you mean, forest? The Sahara's always been a desert."
'It was forest until I found out there might be oil under it.'
