Up Yours it tells me

Hi guys, as most of you probably know we are on a very large property in NSW, and each time i take out the buggy and drive past this tree i get the finger.
So what do i do, cut it down, or break its finger

Leon

A chainsaw would teach it some manners.

Leon, why not turn it into a work of art?

You can use an extra hand around the place, surely...

Give it the one finger salute back in return, make it like a greeting between the 2 of you, mutual disrespect

It means there is a bird living in that tree

Or a violent past event like a lightning strike. As they say it never hits the same spot twice so I reckon it's the safest place to put your Internet satellite dish.

Hi Leon,

It's definitely giving you the finger. It's customary to return the salute

Best

This Leon, is the only suitable option. I'm convinced you're a real gentleman, and this may not come naturally... but that tree is most certainly asking for it.

Just don't stand underneath, lest said tree drop a branch and brain 'ya.

Don’t forget, Leon, if you want to climb the tree, first put a ring on it. Or something like that.

Love your responses, it is quite unique actually and have never really seen anything like it.

Leon, it must be a British tree. It’s the standard courtesy hand signal for car drivers over there
