Only in the Peoples Republic of Boulder

[SF18C]

While walking through the Boulder Colorado woods a man named Jerald came up to another man hugging a tree with his ear firmly against the tree. Seeing this he inquired, "Just out of curiosity, what the heck are you doing?

"I'm listening to the music of the tree," the other man replied.

"You gotta be kiddin' me."

"No, would you like to give it a try?"

Understandably curious, Jerald says, "Well, OK..."

So he wrapped his arms around the tree and pressed his ear up against it. With this the other guy slapped a pair of handcuffs on him, took his wallet, jewelry, car keys, then stripped him naked and left.

Two hours later another nature lover strolled by, saw Jerald handcuffed to the tree stark naked, and asked, "What the hell happened to you?"

He told the guy the whole story about how he got there.

When he finished telling his story, the other guy shook his head in sympathy, walked around behind him, kissed him sweetly behind the ear and said, "This just isn't gonna be your day.."
