Police say Woodworth's motivation was to "see how people would react to his performance" and how it would "impact people's natural choreography."

Usually when there’s a tree in the road, the chainsaws come out to clear the obstruction...

He identifies as a tree. I’m sure Obamacare covers tree surgeons.

TREE HUGGERS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!

Something for Gloria Allred to sink her teeth into.
As long as she doesn’t bough down to pressure.

I would think that one should be able to wake up in the morning and declare his/her/itself a tree for a day.
)BUT when a dog raises its leg, stand there like an oak and take it.)

Or a dog. (watch them fire hydrants)
Or a cat.
Or a woman if man
Or a man if woman
Or a normal human if an It....

I have to leaf now.
