Idiot neighbor almost kills dog with tree limb

Sign in to disble this ad
So my neighbor is outside today standing on his truck using an electric branch cutter to take down a saggy tree limb. His dog is sniffing around underneath and of course he is completely clueless to it. The limb was already partially on the ground, now he just had to cut the rest of the way through and drop it. I'm watching this thinking "Move dog...dog...move...." BOOM! The limb comes down about, had to be half a foot away from the dog. My neighbor still had no idea. It easily would have broken the dog's neck.

Idiot.

Trees represent danger in so many ways. Nothing more dangerous than harry home owner with his new Sears chain saw. Yee haw! I like this one.
Not sure how he got that piece sticking out of his butt.

I'll look for the pic tonight, and try to post it this week, but a friend from high school's dad was cutting down a tree in their back yard, and it went through the roof of their house.

My father in law was cutting down a tree at their house and it almost fell on him because it didn't go in the way he expected. Apparently he wasn't using a come-a-long like I remember my dad attempting to use. They don't always equal success either

are you suggesting that beavers cut down trees in order to take part in some kind of woody sexual exploits?
