One way to get a reputation

Today Matt (co-worker Matt, not Matt the boss or Matt my friend. I know too many dang Matts) handed me an article he had printed from the Star Tribune's website and said "Here, Dana, you need to watch out for this."

I look down and see that he has highlighted the words "molestation of vegetation."

My response? "Is this what you're worried will happen to me if I keep hugging trees?"

We wonder if you have to register as a licensed vegetation offender.

The article, by the way, (linked here) is about a man who decided to cut trees down in order to gain a better view of the lake near his property. Not about charmingly askew tree huggers like me. But it was still fun (okay, maybe not so much for the trees but still).
