R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

I hired a guy to trim my trees. Yeah, I'm a wimp. Something about climbing up a 25-foot ladder and sawing branches doesn't appeal to me anymore. Burned out, I guess.

Anyway, my tree trimming guy has a very cool tool: a chainsaw on the end of a pole!

Really, how cool is that?

The more I watch him whack off limbs and branches the more I think, "I gotta get me one of those!"

Dear Santa,

I've been good all year and what I really want is a chainsaw on the end of a long pole.

Sincerely yours,
Billy

p.s. I promise not to chase cats with it, not that the thought ever occurred to me.


Yeah, with a chainsaw on the end of a long pole I'd get some respect. Yes, I would.

Especially from cats.

Pure genius! I'll apply to be a Druid Priest (they're oaks, the trees, that is, not the Druids) and line up the projects each Fall!

Why didn't I think of that...?

Now Bill, honey, you'll put your eye out with one of those things!! How about a nice sweater instead?

If one were the sort of Texan to go around wearing masks made of human skin—but who nevertheless had an phobia about blood and the syndromes they might carry—a chainsaw on the end of a long pole could be Just The Thing™

Never bet against the cats.

Bill Farrell, funny you mention chain saws on a pole. I woke up in the middle of the night telling myself "I just gotta buy me a chain saw on a pole - I need one - once every two years. Texas Chef
