Would you do this?

This pic came in an email. I can't vouch for its authenticity.




A person took this picture yesterday, in Shakopee, MN. He and one of his co-workers were driving
by and had to circle the block. It's a guy cutting down a tree in his backyard. The cops showed
up, telling the guy he couldn't do what he was doing. He told them to go to he-- it's his property
and his tree.

H*** no,he drops one of those larger limbs,and the shaking of trunk is gonna dislodge at a minimum,the top ladder,maybe all.

Holy cow. That is hard to believe. No one can be that oblivious.

Saw that and the wife and I got a good laugh at it because it looks very similar to how my neighbor removed a tree.

You have to wonder how it all turned out . I have done some crazy things I guess but nothing like that .

I admit to reaching a peak, for staining, with a ladder on scaffolding sitting on a wood deck. A tree? No way Jose. I think I'd get about half-way up and my knees would be knocking.

If it's real, I hope he lived to tell about it. I can't see any of the normal photoshop clues.
