Laughing Gas: Humorous Ramblings
Entire Contents © by John Schlabach |
I was wondering... How does sawing off dead tree branches qualify someone as being called a "tree surgeon"? Surgeon? Oh, come on. Sure, it sounds impressive, but seriously, let's face it, aren't you essentially just some guy with a chainsaw? You're not operating on humans here. We're talking about trees, remember? (The title helps you get the big bucks, right?) When I think of a surgeon, not once have I imagined some guy in overalls hacking off tree tops. You've got to go to medical school for this? Let me guess, you've got a diploma from some prestigious tree university hanging up back at your trailer. Heck, you could even accidentally chop off a few perfectly good tree limbs and no one would even know. (Just blame it on Dutch Elm Disease.) Of course, on the other hand, I don't think medical surgeons could get away with that too often when it comes to human limbs. Once maybe, but by about that fifth accidental leg removal, patients are going to start getting suspicious... (Hey, even butchers don't go around calling themselves "meat surgeons"...)
