BOGOTA, COLOMBIA – An unusual marriage took place on Sunday in Bogotá.

Dressed in a white suit and a red tie, Richard Torres, a young environmentalist from Peru, sealed his love for a tree in a symbolic act meant to emphasize the importance of preserving nature.

"I declare you life partners and forever in pure love, on behalf of the elements of nature and of God " said Colombian actress Kristina Lilley, who performed the ceremony on Bogota's National Park.

The participants, some with musical instruments in hand, threw rice at the newlyweds and demanded in chorus: " Kiss, kiss, kiss... "

Torres said in an interview with The Associated Press that the initiative "is setting a precedent for people to compromise and not kill nature.”

Meanwhile, Lilley said: "The call was to preserve the environment, to stop cutting trees, care for animals and live in peace and tolerance."

Wait for him to find out she can be a Beech and be CROTCHety sometimes. That will probably become the ROOT of a divorce. She will be the first ash for one.
Who gets custody if she bears any little nuts?

Woke Up With Wood
ZZ Top

When I woke up this morning
I was feeling mighty good.
My baby understood had to do what she should
lying near a pile of wood.
Laying it on some,
playing with it some
when I, I woke up with wood.

I was lying there thinking ‘bout basketball
trying not to lose my mind
my baby came to help and I let out a yell,
she grabbed me from behind.
Laying on it some,
playing with it some
when I, I woke up with wood.

Beauty queens fall in trances,
debutantes lose their furs.
But it felt so good from where they stood,
they were working on a pile of wood.
Laying on it some,
playing with it some
when I, I woke up with wood.

No knot hole jokes please

LOL, that was my first thought too. I do wonder, however, how does he plan to consumate the marriage without them?

Maybe the tree has a suitable hollow. He should check it for squirrels first, however. There may be a squirrel's nuts in it, too!

DANG!

A sleepy hollow maybe? This chump must be out of his tree. The jokes just write themselves don't they?

Anyone think this half-wit has ever taken out his wallet and bought trees with his own money and planted them his own hands?

Talk about being out on a limb! Does this relationship have any roots?

Correct, you aren’t sleeping there!

I have heard of many trees being “knocked down” never “knocked up! :^}

Re: “No weirder than two guys getting married.”

My college alumni magazine started publishing same sex marriages in it's last issue.

Several classmates from my era - late 1960’s - made the list.

I used to read the obituaries first...

“Wow, that guy or that girl is dead?

Now it's...

“Wow, that guy or that girl was gay?”

I understand that he has started writing a book, the title of which is:

Splinters in my Penis
My Life in a Knothole
