Birch and Hemlock. Sounds ominous.
They are the names of trees. I live in this neighborhood. No it is not ominous.
It was a joke. Relax.

That power pole has feelings. Stop drinking and driving people.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Give him the Rodney king treatment
Birch and hemlock I live here too. It does make me think like maybe is a nightmare on Elm Street kind of area. Tree names
The pole was once a tree!
Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
