I don’t grow coconuts. AND I don’t walk under coconut trees.

I live in a very heavily wooded area.

My dad [who has never been bitten by any dog in his 78 years] was nearly done in by a “fool killer” dangling branch which suddenly dropped out of a tree he was walking under while hunting.

He “got lucky” and only received a broken collar bone and severely bruised shoulder.

The irony of that is that, as a child, he drummed “watch out for fool killers” into my head to where it became second nature to scan the trees ahead of me for them, when walking the mountain.

Ban pit trees.

:)
