Or, maybe "if a tree falls in a copse ..."

BTW, since the definition of "copse" is "a small group of trees", isn't a "copse of trees", then, "a small group of trees of trees"?
When reading threads like this, I can't help but think of a bit George Carlin did about him and his friends at Catholic school (when Catholic school was Catholic School), and they would make up very complicated questions for the priests or brothers such as, "a sailor is at sea, and he hasn't done his Easter Duty yet, and its Easter Sunday.....but then they cross the International Date Line - would he have committed a mortal sin??"

Having no practical experience with either NFHS or NCAA, I get reminded of that hearing about some of their rules and/or test questions.....
