Good friend of my family was over during Christmas, and we are pretty informal after the presents are opened, and the meal has been consumed, usually me and my cousins ride gokarts, or play Video Games, do something fun..ya know?
Well I was trying to pull one of my Gokarts out of my storage shed, which is where I store all my saws as well. The family freind walks out there to tell me bye, and she looks into the shed and sees 3 rows that go the length of the shed of chainsaws..she turns pale and gives me the filthiest look anyone has ever given me in my life. Even filthier than that one time the neighbor caught me trying to take a peak down her shirt...but anyways..
She is a tree Hugger. She is one of those stupid people that tie themselves to trees. She drives a Geo Metro covered in Green-peace, and recycle stickers.
She starts yelling at me about how Im a murderer...Me and my cousin just looked at each other and chuckled..but she was very serious. She said I had a shed full of tree killers, more than she had seen in any one place at the same time. She said that she needed to leave before she got angry and called up her friends...I asked her if she wanted to run my Echo and help shorten some firewood. I picked it up and held it up to her. She turned around and went inside...3 minutes later my family comes out and they are all pi$$y at me wanting to know what Id said to make her so angry..she said she is never coming out ever again, she is through with "us".
Oh well, no great loss. If she only knew how few trees my stash had actually killed...she wouldnt have been near as mad...
It is sad that people exist that will never know the FUN of running a chainsaw...It's even sadder that people exist that love trees enough that they want to waste an arbosrist/tree surgeons time.
Eventually the tree will fall...Even if the Police have to get involved, so why fight it?
