Tree Surgery. No License Required.

       We have all seen the guy in the cartoon, saw the limb off that he's sitting on. It seems impossible that anyone could be so dumb. Yeah, right. My guess is this very morning, all across America and the world for that matter, there are folks lying in hospital beds with shattered bones and huge, horrible stitched up wounds directly caused by weekend tree pruning. The combination of the chain saw and the ladder is probably the cause of more than a few of these injuries.
     The long handled pruning saw (neither the electric or the gas fired models, but strictly manual) is relatively dope proof. Half way though your first limb, your shoulders will be begging for mercy. You saw off a few small branches and put that stupid thing away. It's football season, man. If you drink, crack a beer and hit the couch. Chores done, and the game's on and you still have all of your own limbs. That's a good day of pruning.
