Size Matters at Christmas - 1

A guy I knew went to buy a Christmas tree and as could be expected of men, bought the biggest one he could find. On arriving home, it was immediately obvious that it was too tall and he had to cut a couple of feet off the end for it to fit. When he was finally able to stand it up without the top bending over, he removed the plastic net that sheathed the tree. The branches settled down into place... taking up half the living room. His wife grudgingly put up with having to squeeze past it for about three weeks, but she completely lost it when she came downstairs one morning to find the carpet had turned green because the tree had decided to shed its pine needles.

Moral of the story: Men should not be let off the leash without proper supervision.
