Brad: A farmer near where I used to live was heading to the barn for evening feeding, when he noticed a police cruiser parked by his commercial Christmas tree lot about 1/2 mile off. He went back to house for binoculars, sure enough an officer in uniform loading two trees in trunk of police cruiser. He beconed his hired hand to get the chain saw and meet him at the pickup. They followed the cruiser back to town, into a nice little sub-division. Officer got out of car, placed the trees in his garage and closed the door, then went in the house. The farmer then got out his chain saw, went to front lawn and cut down a 6' blue spruce and headed for the truck with it. The officer came out, yelling what in H#$% do you think you are doing. Farmer turned to him and said," Sir you got two from me, I just got one from you, Merry Christmas." He got in his truck and drove back to the country. I understand he did erect the blue spruce in his living room for Christmas, and yes all his holliday guests did ask about the source of the tree. You see most had bought their tree from him, and wanted to know why they were never offered blue spruce.
