Sorry but I just didn't get this!! can someone please explain???
I got the Forest Gump and the Hollywood part immediately. Where does the can't see the etc come from?
Okay, You KNOW it's supposed to say Forest and Wood, but you can't see them because the Pines are there instead...come on.
As above really, but I did originally submitt this as lots of famous people and places with wood in them , but it was thought that the phrase Woods for the trees was not common and that it should be can't see the forest for the trees. Thats why I added both as Wood for the trees is more common in UK.
