An old man applies for a job as a woodcutter, but the boss is skeptical.

An old man applies for a job as a woodcutter, but the boss is skeptical.

“You don’t look strong enough to handle the big trees,” the boss says.

The old man confidently replies, “I can cut down any tree with a single swing.”

To prove it, he steps outside, takes his ax to a five-foot tree, and with one swing, it crashes down.

Then he does the same with a ten-foot tree, a thirty-foot tree, and finally an 80-foot redwood.

Each tree falls with a single strike.

Amazed, the boss asks, “Where did you learn to cut like that?”

The old man replies, “In the Sahara Forest.”

The boss looks confused.

“Don’t you mean the Sahara Desert?”

The old man nods and says, “Well, that’s what they call it now.”
