Life As A Rare Fruit Collector

True for many simple domestic species, but exotic gardening of foreign trees until they reach the point where they are bearing fruit takes a lot of knowledge on top of sourcing the seeds. How much water? What's the pollination process? Soil chemistry? Fertilization and nutrients? Diseases and pests to manage?

There are a lot of failed gardens out there.

Not in my eyes, he has to collect them before he can even attempt to grow them...that can be a LOT harder, especially when it's hard for you to walk and talk.
Plants/fruits grow on their own, mostly.

TOP TEN REASONS

1) Small pot

2) Small kids that slurp longer pieces

3) Awesome snappy noise and stuff'

4) Me strong like Hulk prove by smashing spaghettis smash smash

5) Visualizing your mean annoying boss's neck while twisting crick crack shatter

6) Teaching child division and/or fractions

7) Having less sophisticated in-law over who would otherwise maul linguini with multiple passes of a knife before eating

8 ) Telling parable of "united we stand divided we fall" to less patriotic younger generation representatives, and needed a prop.

9) Secretly mad at spouse and prepping mysterious "I don't know how all those spaghettini shards on the floor happened but it's your time to sweep here's the broom" petty vengeance

10) Destroying stuff is fun.

Yeah, it's a set-up. Every piece is perfectly level-cut, no knots, nothing but clean, perfectly vertically-grained extremely well-dried softwood.

But it's still pretty impressive and the guy is fit as hell, so kudos.
