A cartoon depicts a chasm with a rope bridge, once connecting both sides, cut and hanging from the side of the cliff, sabotaged by a suit standing on the well forested right side beside a spool of rope and holding a saw. The left side of the chasm is a wasteland of sawn tree stumps. There’s a sign that reads “Please return saw and rope when done”. An empty box sits beneath the sign. The suit calls out to a person in the wasteland on the left side of the chasm “BUILD YOUR OWN DAMN BRIDGE LIKE I DID!” The person in the wasteland replies “WITH WHAT?! “

With the pieces of the bridge that fell to your side?

I feel like the original bridge builder should have burned the bridge, not cut it away, for a more accurate description.

Sure, but neither of those tools will help span the gap and get the rope and precut logs back in place. Like if they were on his side would it even help?

Also, I'm still not sure how the boomer guy got over there in the first place. Like, did he just jump or something?
