[Ads-l] Ax/Tree proverb

[Jonathan Lighter]

 A lot of Internet discussion about what is said to be a Turkish proverb:

 "And though the forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axe,
for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that since his handle was
made of wood, he was one of them."
