Title: Tree People
Post by: davedove on March 19, 2007, 11:56:52 AM
Here's a term for you.  I have just started my ground team training and the officers teaching the material gave me this term the other day.  It's those people who suddenly appear, no matter what time or how remote the location, whenever a team is conducting an operation.  I was told of one man who appeared in the middle of the woods in the wee hours of the morning to ask what was going on.  He apparently appeared out of nowhere, as though he materialized out of the trees.

Everytime I see the title "Tree People" I have to laugh... 

In front of my High School was a huge cedar tree with branches reaching all the way to the ground.  This created a large area under the tree that was both out of sight and dry (important consideration in Washington State).  Anyhow, all the smokers, pot-heads, stoners, etc. would hang around under that tree and they were called... "Tree People".

Tree people, using the Holy Grail of logic, must made of wood. You could burn them or build a bridge out of them.

Wood also floats. So do ducks, so logically if a Tree person weighs a much as a duck then they must be a witch and should be burned at the stake.

I love this Monty Python logic.
